Description
Beware: Reminder to be thankful and faithful to God
Deuteronomy
8
10
You will eat your fill and then praise the LORD your God because of the good land he has given you.
11
Be sure you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping his commandments, ordinances, and statutes that I am giving you today.
12
When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,
13
when your cattle and flocks increase, when you have plenty of silver and gold, and when you have abundance of everything,
14
be sure you do not feel self-important and forget the LORD your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery,
15
and who brought you through the great, fearful desert of venomous serpents and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow from a flint rock and
16
fed you in the desert with manna (which your ancestors had never before known) so that he might by humbling you test you and eventually bring good to you.
17
Be careful not to say, "My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth."
18
You must remember the LORD your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day.
19
Now if you forget the LORD your God at all and follow other gods, worshiping and prostrating yourselves before them, I testify to you today that you will surely be annihilated.
20
Just like the nations the LORD is about to destroy from your sight, so he will do to you because you would not obey him.
