Pro 30:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me
them not before I die:
Pro 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me
neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Pro 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who
is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Remove far from me-
vanity. This is our prayer. Vanity is an
insidious part of our beings. We can't seem to help the vanity within us, the
Bible says as much. Vanity of vanities ALL IS VANITY. So much of what we are is vanity, isn't
it? Our WORTH is JESUS CHRIST OUR
LORD. Therefore our self worth is
vanity. The farthest we can ever be
removed from vanity is the closest we move to our Savior.
Please Lord be our
worth- remove far from me, vanity.
By Your mercy, Your
love, Your grace, always- AMEN!
