I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Deuteronomy 8-10.

    Moses explains that the Children of Israel learned to love and obey God during lean, trying times. During their time in the wilderness, God disciplined them as a loving father disciplines his children. Now they were about to enter a land of plenty and face a new temptation. Moses warned them that when times got good for them it would be easy to become proud and forget God. When times are good it is easy to become complacent and forget God, thinking that our ability and success will provide for our needs. We must remember that our success comes from obeying God and that if we fail to continue to do so, He will remove His blessings from us. I do not think I can stress enough how hard it is for us to remain faithful when things are going well for us.
