8:8,9
It was also with a plentiful supply of all sorts of resources. Crops would grow well in the land, so they would have no problems making bread. Bread was the staple food for most peoples in those days. There was also iron and copper in the hills, so they would be able to make tools and other implements. If you have read much of my blogs you will know that I have little time for so-called prosperity teaching, but we also need to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water. God’s ultimate plan is for His people to be well provided for. That does have some consequences now, but we also need to remember that we are also called to share in Christ’s sufferings.
8:10
I mentioned earlier that there are two main areas of danger, one is turning to idols when threatened. Moses now turns to the second danger, and that is forgetting the Lord when everything seems to be going fine. First, we get the positive answer to this danger, and it is not to hope that things don’t go well! When things are going well we should give thanks to the Lord. We should praise Him for the good things that He has done for us.
