Deuteronomy 8 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

The Lord

Takes Care of YouMoses said:

1Israel, do you want to go into the land the Lord promised your ancestors? Do you want to capture it, live there, and become a powerful nation? Then be sure to obey every command I am giving you.

2Don't forget how the Lord your God has led you through the desert for the past 40 years. He wanted to find out if you were truly willing to obey him and depend on him,

3 a kind of food that you and your ancestors had never even heard about. The Lord was teaching you that people need more than food to live—they need every word that the Lord has spoken.

4Over the past 40 years, your clothing hasn't worn out, and your feet haven't swollen.

5 and olive trees, and there is plenty of honey.

Don't Forget the Lord

Moses said to Israel:

10After you eat and are full, give praise to the Lord your God for the good land he gave you.

11 a kind of food your ancestors had never even heard about. The Lord was testing you to make you trust him, so that later on he could be good to you.

17When you become successful, don't say, “I'm rich, and I've earned it all myself.”

18Instead, remember that the Lord your God gives you the strength to make a living. That's how he keeps the promise he made to your ancestors.

19-20But I'm warning you—if you forget the Lord your God and worship other gods, the Lord will destroy you, just as he destroyed the nations you fought.
