Deuteronomy 26:17-19 (English Standard Version)
17 You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you will walk in his ways, and keep his statutes and his commandments and his rules, and will obey his voice. 18 And the LORD has declared today that you are a people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments, 19 and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honor high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised." Deuteronomy 8:15-18 (CEV)
15 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. 16 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. 17 When you become successful, don't say, " I'm rich, and I've earned it all myself." 18 Instead, remember that the LORD your God gives you the strength to make a living. That's how he keeps the promise he made to your ancestors. |
