—Deuteronomy 8:11-20
by: Paula Davis.
As humans we have the tendency to rely on ourselves and even to take credit for the good things around us, as if we have earned them. When we go through difficult times, I think we are more likely to call upon the Lord and depend on His strength. Today’s passage reminds us that we should not take for granted a provision from the Lord. We may work for things we have, but it is the Lord who not only provides in times of need but also provides the abilities and strength in our bodies to accomplish whatever we do.
