 Proverbs 13:25The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked lacks food.Proverbs Daily is a reader-supported publication.

When you see the word “upgrade,” you’re simply invited to help me make the sacred positively contagious...thank you in advance for becoming a free or paid subscriber.When it comes to nature, almost everything knows when to stop.Trees don’t overdrink. Animals don’t hoard. Ecosystems find their balance. There’s a rhythm. A built-in homeostasis.Creation cooperates.Except for us Humans… not so much.We’re the only ones who keep eating after we’re full, scrolling after we’re tired, Seeking after we’re supposed to be satisfied, chasing “more” long after “enough…”has knocked on the door.That’s not natural. That’s greed.I was driving a customer yesterday, and we got into one of those conversations. You know the kind. Consumerism. The fever to always upgrade. Bigger, better, faster, newer. I said out loud how cancerous that mindset is. How the need for more never heals anything. It just spreads like a disease.And the moment I said it… I felt that pit in my gut.You know that pit…that quiet inner voice that says, “Careful buddy… pointing your finger cause you got four fingers pointing back at you.”Because here’s the truth. I don’t just talk about greed. I wrestle it.Greed doesn’t always look like excess. Sometimes it looks like restlessness. Sometimes it looks like never being satisfied with what God has already provided.That’s why this proverb is important.Proverbs 13:25 doesn’t described the righteous as wealthy. Not stacked. Not overflowing.Just… satisfied.Enough. Enough food. Enough peace. Enough LIFE.But the wicked? Their belly lacks...like something’s just…missingNot just food or the newest ‘thing’ but the reality is nothing ever full-fills them.That’s the trap. Greed promises fullness and delivers hunger. Over and over again.The discipline of enough isn’t about starving yourself or gorging yourself. It’s about regulating yourself.It’s learning how to enjoy what’s on the plate instead of obsessing over what’s next. It’s choosing satisfaction over accumulation. Freedom over frenzy.Greed is cancerous because it eats your ability to enjoy the present moment. Enough is healing because it teaches your soul how to rest.And today, I’m not preaching at you. I’m practicing with you.💥 RememberGreed starves the soul. Enough feeds it.PrayerDear God, teach me the peace of just enough today.Today’s ChallengeAny areas you notice where you keep craving more? Pause. Thank God for what’s already there. Practice one small act of generosity or subtraction.Enough…is enough.About the AuthorFred Lynch is a creative communicator, author, and Christian Hip Hop pioneer.
