Deuteronomy 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:14

Then thine heart be lifted up
As the heart is apt to be when riches increase; hence the advice in ( 1 Timothy 6:17 )

and thou forget the Lord thy God;
from whom all good things come, and who can take them away when he pleases, and therefore should be ever kept in mind, for ever looked to and trusted in for the continuance of them; yet such is the evil heart of man, and such the stupefying nature of riches, that they bring on forgetfulness of the author of them, lead off from dependence on him and obedience to him; in order to prevent which, an enumeration is given of wonderful instances of divine goodness to Israel, as follows:

which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage;
into a land abounding with all the above good things, and therefore it must be the highest ingratitude to forget such a God, and disobey his commands.

Deuteronomy 8:14 In-Context

12 When you eat and are full, and build beautiful houses to live in,

13 and your herds and flocks grow large, and your silver and gold multiply, and everything else you have increases,

14 [be careful] that your heart doesn't become proud and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

15 He led you through the great and terrible wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty land where there was no water. He brought water out of the flintlike rock for you.

16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
