Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:10

i.e. Solemnly praise him for thy food; which is a debt both of gratitude and justice, because it is from his providence and favour that thou receivest both thy food and refreshment and strength by it. The more unworthy and absurd is that too common profaneness of them, who, professing to believe a God and his providence, from whom all their comforts come, grudge to own him at their meals, either by desiring his blessing before them, or by offering due praise to God after them. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—In addition to the danger of being ensnared by idolatry, after their settlement in Canaan, Israel might fall into pride and forget God in the enjoyment of its products. To guard against this, Moses reviews the past and indicates the Divine purpose in the 40 years’ wanderings.Deuteronomy 8:1. Renewed admonition to keep the law.Deuteronomy 8:2. Remember that God’s designs may be realised and right effects produced (Deuteronomy 13:3; 2 Chronicles 32:31). Humble, i.e., to bring them... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2

Deuteronomy 8:2 The intention of "the way in the wilderness" is twofold: humiliation and probation. I. All things are humbling. A much shorter period than forty years will be enough to make every one feel the deep humiliation of life, (1) It is a very humbling thing to receive kindness. (2) There are very humbling sorrows: sickness and bereavement; nothing can be more humiliating than these. (3) Sin is the great abaser. Failure is marked upon a thousand things. No thought is more humbling to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2-4

Deuteronomy 8:2-4 I. The text shows us what God did with Israel. (1) He sent them back to wander in the desert through forty years, sent them back from entering the land which He eventually intended to give them. We see only brief time before us as our day in which to work. God does not hasten, for eternity is before Him as His working day. (2) God exposed His people to much difficulty and hardship, but He did not suffer them to sink under their troubles. They were long kept from Canaan, but... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2-5

Deuteronomy 8:2-5 This is the lesson of our lives. This is God's training, not only for the Jews, but for us. We read these verses to teach us that God's ways with man do not change; that His fatherly hand is over us, as well as over the people of Israel; that their blessings are our blessings, their dangers are our dangers; that, as St. Paul says, all these things are written for our example. I. "He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger." How true to life that is; how often there comes to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

Deuteronomy 8:3 If this text be true, what a strange comment on it is the world at the present hour! Turn to whatever class of our countrymen you like, and in every accent of their voices you will hear uttered their practical belief that they can live by bread alone. It is for bread that is, for material things that men toil, and strive, and exhaust their finest energies. Now, if ever, it is needful to thunder in the ears of our countrymen, "Man shall not live by bread alone." And as statesmen,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:11-18

Deuteronomy 8:11-18 In the text we have Moses' answer to the first great question in politics: What makes a nation prosperous? To that wise men have always answered, as Moses answered, "Good government is government according to the laws of God." That alone makes a nation prosperous. But the multitude, who are not wise men, give a different answer. They say, "What makes a nation prosperous is its wealth." I. Moses does not deny that wealth is a good thing. He takes for granted that the Jews... read more
