Deuteronomy 8
In this chapter, Moses reminds the Israelites what God has done for them, what God is doing for them, and what they need to do to continue to be on God's "good list."God's already done so many miraculous things for the Israelites. But so easily they forget! Moses wants them to remember that God is going to bless them with land that provides a lot of food and wealth, but they need to remember that it comes from GOD and not themselves. Otherwise, if they forget to praise God for the things He's done, they'll end up just like all of the other people that God has defeated in order to bless the Israelites.
Are there things in your life that you take the credit for that really God has provided?
Remember verse 10 and verse 18 as you think about things God has blessed you with:
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
