The Prayer of Agur Part II

Jan 29, 2017    Van N. Houser    Proverbs 30:1-9

Do you ever find yourself frustrated in trying to understand God? Theology is the study of God. Possibly, this man of wisdom speaks from the frustration of all who fail to wrap their minds around God. The more he sought and studied, the more conscious he became of his own ignorance and of God’s incomprehensibility. While affirming his confidence in God’s Word as Truth, he asks God to merely do two things to protect him from himself. His first request is to keep him from falsehood and deceit that he might live honestly with himself and others.
