When Lost in Wealth Deuteronomy 8:6-20 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; Deuteronomy 8:6-7 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. Deuteronomy 8:14-15 He brought you water out of hard rock. 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.
