Deuteronomio 8:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:5

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart
Frequently think of, and meditate upon, revolve in their thoughts, well weigh in their minds, and take into thorough and deliberate consideration in their hearts; it being a matter of great moment and importance to them for their peace and comfort and the glory of God, namely, what follows:

that as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee;
that they stood in the same relation to God as a son to a father, and therefore happy and honourable; that all their afflictions came from God, were appointed, sent, directed, and overruled by him for his own glory and their good; that these were the chastenings and corrections of a father, and were not done in wrath, but in love, and therefore should be patiently endured; and it became them to consider well from what hand they came, and in what manner, and for what ends and purposes, how they ought to behave under them, and what they should do, as follows.

Deuteronomio 8:5 In-Context

3 Sí, te humilló permitiendo que pasaras hambre y luego alimentándote con maná, un alimento que ni tú ni tus antepasados conocían hasta ese momento. Lo hizo para enseñarte que la gente no vive solo de pan, sino que vivimos de cada palabra que sale de la boca del Señor
.

4 En todos esos cuarenta años, la ropa que llevabas puesta no se gastó, y tus pies no se ampollaron ni se hincharon.

5 Ten por cierto que, así como un padre disciplina a su hijo, el Señor
tu Dios te disciplina para tu propio bien.

6 »Por lo tanto, obedece los mandatos del Señor
tu Dios andando en sus caminos y temiéndolo.

7 Pues el Señor
tu Dios te lleva a una buena tierra, con arroyos y lagunas, con fuentes de agua y manantiales que brotan a chorros de los valles y las colinas.
