Good morning! In today’s reflection on Deuteronomy, Moses offers profound wisdom to the Jewish people as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. He emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and not forgetting their connection to God amidst prosperity. As they settle into their new homes and enjoy abundant blessings, Moses warns against the natural human tendency to grow complacent and arrogant in times of success.

He reminds them of their humble beginnings in Egypt and the miracles God performed to lead them through the desert. The message is clear: wealth and comfort can lead to forgetfulness of the divine source of those blessings. Moses urges the people to remember that their strength and achievements are ultimately gifts from God.

If they stray and worship other gods, they risk losing everything. As they face the mightier nations ahead, Moses reassures them of God’s power to help them prevail. This passage calls us to stay humble and grateful, recognizing the source of our blessings.
