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 You will eat all you want. You will build nice houses and live in them.

13 Your herds and flocks, silver and gold, and everything else you have will increase.

14 When this happens, be careful that you don't become arrogant and forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.

15 He was the one who led you through that vast and dangerous desert--a thirsty and arid land, with poisonous snakes and scorpions. He was the one who made water come out of solid rock for you.

16 He was the one who fed you in the desert with manna, which your ancestors had never seen. He did this in order to humble you and test you. But he also did this so that things would go well for you in the end.
