God's FaithfulnessRemember the Source
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Moses reminds Israel that their ability to produce wealth comes from God, who gives power to establish His covenant.
Human effort matters, but God is the ultimate source of our ability to create wealth. Our skills, opportunities, health, and mental capacity all come from Him. This verse guards against pride and self-sufficiency, reminding us that even our productive abilities are gifts from God's hand.
For Today
Before you start work today, acknowledge that your abilities and opportunities come from God, not from yourself alone.
Prayer
Lord, You give me power to get wealth and succeed in my work. Keep me humble and grateful, remembering that every good thing I produce flows from Your generous provision and enabling grace. Amen.
