“Otherwise, you may
say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’ But
you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to
make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,
as it is this day.” – Deuteronomy 8:17-18
Moses is teaching Israel not to be proud of itself for
something God has done for them. Whatever the purpose of God is for you, He
provides for your needs. To take pride in it is sinful; instead, acknowledge
the real Source for all that you have.
