Lenten Devotions: Stupid Human Tricks

"Thus says the man; I am weary, O God,

I am weary, O God.  How can I prevail?

Surely I am too stupid to be human;

I do not have human understanding.

I have not learned wisdom, 

nor have I knowledge of the holy ones...

Two things I ask of you;

do not deny them to me before I die:

Remove far from me falsehood and lying;

give me neither poverty nor riches; 

feed me with the food that I need,

Or I shall be full, and deny you and say, 'Who is the Lord?'

or I shall be poor, and steal,

and profane the name of my God."

Proverbs 30.1-3, 7-9

There:  now tell me you didn't laugh just a little bit.  I thought so.  Have a great day.
