Deuteronomy 8 · Grade 5

Remember, Do Not Forget

Name Date

Read and Think

The key words of Deuteronomy 8 are remember and do not forget. God led Israel forty years in the wilderness to humble them, test them, and reveal what was in their hearts. He allowed hunger and then fed them manna so they would learn that people do not live by bread only, but by every word from the mouth of the Lord.

Jesus used this verse to answer Satan in the wilderness: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God's mouth (Matthew 4:4). He trusted His Father rather than His own power. The same chapter shows God as a father who disciplines his son, not to harm him, but to train him. Even their clothing did not grow old in forty years.

Moses warns that prosperity is a test too. When houses are built, flocks multiply, and silver and gold increase, the heart can be lifted up and forget God. Israel must not say, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. Remembering that God gives the power to get wealth keeps the heart humble and grateful.
