Deuteronomy 8:2

Study

       

2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 2. You shall ever bear in mind the dealings of the Divine Love and Wisdom in Providence whereby the Lord has led you through periods of temptation and desolation to reduce the obstructions arising from self, and to give you confidence in Him, to show you the evils of your own heart, and to show you whether your will was in conformity with Divine order or not.
