Proverbs 30 "The words of Agur... 'Surely I am more stupid than any man, and I do not have the understanding of a man. Neither have I learned wisdom, nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.'"

This man then goes on to write some very profound and wise words.. "Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!" 

O Hallelujah! We do know!  Yahweh.. the Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ the Son! John wrote, "And no one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man." (John 3:13)  Isaiah wrote "For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar, the Lord of Hosts is His name. And I have put My words in your mouth, and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ' You are My people'" (Isaiah 51:15-16)

Agur goes on to share wise observations.. 

He asks that he doesn't have too much.. lest he be too full and deny the Lord; and that he doesn't have too little.. lest he be in want and steal. What a great prayer.. "Feed me with the food that is my portion"... Daily bread...  He asks for nothing more.. and nothing less.  

He warns of the liars.. and of the greedy... of the mockers and of those who do not respect their parents. 

Agur wonders at the beauty of nature; and he grieves at the things that shake the earth and his soul.

He observes the ironies of life.. an ant that is not strong but  wisely prepares food for the winter; a badger that is "not mighty"  but lives among rocks; locusts that have no leader but are organized like an army; and a lizard which is small and helpless.. but can live in a palace!

In humility, Agur warns the proud.. who have foolishly exalted themselves..to "put your hand on your mouth".. 

Father in heaven, You are God alone.. in heaven above and on earth below.. and there is no other.  You stir up the sea... You established the universe.. every star, You know by name.. every creature on earth.. You have ordained according to Your great wisdom. We desire to know You, even as the prophets and poets of old desired to know You.  Thank You for the Word of Life.. for Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. . so that we can know You more! Open our eyes to see the beauty and wonder of Your creation and to exalt Your Holy Name. Open our hearts to receive the Truth of Your Word.. to know Your love and grace and wisdom.. that we might exalt Your Name! Fill us, Spirit of God, that we might give honor and glory to the Father and to the Son.  Let the love of God..and love for God fill our hearts today we pray.. in Jesus' name.  Amen.
