We must be very careful after we have eaten our fill.

 

 

Our God watches over us in this world,

which is like a barren land in the wilderness.

However, after we have eaten and are satisfied,

we often become proud and forget God

(Ref.: Hosea 13:5-6).

This is akin to the Israelites when they entered the land of Canaan,

where they enjoyed abundant food, built beautiful houses,

and amassed flocks, herds, silver, gold, and wealth.

In their pride, they forgot the God

who had led them out of slavery in Egypt.

To such people, God's word warns:

'Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God

by failing to observe His commands, His laws,

and His decrees that I am giving you this day'

(Ref.: Deuteronomy 8:11-14).
