AMPLIFIED 2015 | Deuteronomy 8:18 "But you shall remember [with profound respect] the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. |
Bible Question: Is this promise for believers today? |
Bible Answer: In the context of Deuteronomy 8, I don't see this as a promise of health/wealth to anyone. Rather, it is a commandment to remember God, because he is the one who enables us to possess what we do. The warning expressed in Deuteronomy 8 was against forgetting that God is the provider for Israel (and for us as well). In this sense, the command is most definitely applicable to God's people of all generations. --Joe! |
