Scripture affirms Scripture

As I was reading my Bible I was once again amazed of the continuity of the message that flows throughout it.  Scripture affirming Scripture.  I first was reading Philippians 4:11-12 where the Apostle Paul is talking about God providing for his needs.  “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.  I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.”  I then read out of Proverbs 30:8-9.  “…give me neither poverty nor riches,  but give me only my daily bread.  Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’  Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.”  I thank God for not making me rich and not making me poor, but giving me all that I need.  What do you think about these two passages?  Lend me your thoughts on it.
