Zijn gebed is namelijk het enige gebed dat in Spreuken is opgetekend. Hij vroeg de Heer om twee specifieke dingen: integriteit en tevredenheid.<\/p><p>Agur wilde een leven van integriteit leiden voor zijn God, en hij omschrijft dit leven als een leven zonder valsheid en leugens. Het woord voor valsheid betekent leegte of ijdelheid. Het woord voor leugens betekent valsheid of bedrog. Deze twee woorden vatten de essentie van deze wereld samen, met al haar loze beloften en haar bedrieglijke aard. Agur bidt niet om hulp om de waarheid te spreken; hij bidt om beschermd te worden tegen de verleiding van alles wat vals is en alles wat niet de waarheid is!<\/p><p>Er wordt vaak gezegd: &quot;Reputatie is wat mensen van je denken; integriteit is wat we zijn als er niemand anders in de buurt is!&quot; Deze wereld zal proberen onze genegenheid af te leiden van het volgen van de Heer met valse beloften, valse hoop en valse genoegens. Maar het Woord van Waarheid, de Bijbel, wijst ons naar Degene die de Waarheid is, de Heer Jezus Christus. Agur vertrouwde zichzelf niet en stelde geen vertrouwen in zijn eigen vlees!<\/p><p>Jakobus waarschuwt ons: &quot;Weet u niet dat vriendschap met de wereld vijandschap met God is? Wie daarom een vriend van de wereld wil zijn, maakt zichzelf tot een vijand van God&quot; (Jakobus 4:4). David zou zeggen: &quot;Wend mijn ogen af van het kijken naar waardeloze dingen&quot; (Psalm 119:37).\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<br \/><\/strong>Bezitten wij de wijsheid en toewijding van Agur? Mogen wij \u201conze ogen op Jezus richten, Hem recht in het wonderbaarlijke gezicht kijken, en de aardse dingen zullen vreemd genoeg vervagen in het licht van Zijn heerlijkheid en genade.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A
