better is a little

Better is a little with the fear of the LORD

than great treasure and trouble with it.

Proverbs 15:16

Lord,

You take care of me

provide all my need

keep my soul

make me whole

I fix my eyes

on what You provide

not on the world’s stuff

that would never be enough

just a little from You

will see me through

in what You provide

my soul will thrive

the hope that I have

comes from Your hand

in gracious measure

You will be my treasure

my God I will fear

my life You will steer

shelter, clothes, and food

will all be for my good

from worldly riches I turn away

to trust in You, Lord, today

worldly wealthy will rust

it’s You I will trust

trouble comes, You are there

providing mercy and care

it isn’t about material greed

when You take care of all I need

economies fail and rearrange

but You will never change

so a little with fear of the Lord

brings abundant life in Your Word

Amen
