Biblical
Help : When you want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ
(Moses said to Israel)
-
After you eat and are full, give praise to the Lord your God for the good land He gave you.
-
Make sure that you never forget the Lord or disobey His laws and teachings that I am giving you today.
-
If you always obey them, you will have plenty to eat, and you will build good houses to live in.
-
You will get more and more cattle, sheep, silver, gold, and other possessions.
-
But when all this happens, do not be proud1 Don’t forget that you were once slaves in Egypt and that it was the Lord who set you free.
-
Remember how He led you in that huge and frightening desert where poisonous snakes and scorpions live. There was no water, but the Lord split open a rock, and water poured out so you could drink.
-
He also gave you manna, 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.
-
When you become successful, do not say, “I’m rich, and I have earned it all myself.”
-
Instead, remember that the Lord you God gives you the strength to make a living. That is how He keeps the promise He made to your ancestors.
-
But I am 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.
Deuteronomy 8:10-20
