Deuteronomy 8:1-5
Do Not Forget the LORD
1 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers. 2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
God was with the Israelites during there forty year journey in the desert...God led them to be humble and to test what was in their hearts...He watched and saw who kept His commands...
During the forty years the people's clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell...God gave His people manna and quail to eat...God taught them that man does not live by bread alone...He taught them to trust in the LORD...
God wants His people to be humble, have good hearts, remember His commands, and to trust in Him...
