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 Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in,
13 see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up -
14 make sure you don't become so full of yourself and your things that you forget God, your God, the God who delivered you from Egyptian slavery;
15 the God who led you through that huge and fearsome wilderness, those desolate, arid badlands crawling with fiery snakes and scorpions; the God who gave you water gushing from hard rock;
16 the God who gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never heard of, in order to give you a taste of the hard life, to test you so that you would be prepared to live well in the days ahead of you.
