He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you, Deuteronomy 8:16
A key theme in Deuteronomy is ‘Remember.’
The children of Israel are about to enter the Promised Land. Once slaves, they are now a great nation. Their success depends on their covenant relationship with God. God and God alone will be their sole provider and protector and they will be His faithful and obedient people, a blessing to all the earth. Prosperity is given, but that will beget a lax attitude. Caution against forgetting the source of strength and wealth. DON’T FORGET!
As life moves forward, remember your seasons of manna. They are treasures that will see you through times of trial and teach a new and deeper knowledge of God’s character and love. Never let your praise quiet. It defeats the devil and affirms your allegiance to the One True God.
Have a great day,
