Do Not Forget the Lord
November 26, 2026
Overview & Insights
“When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.” (Deuteronomy 8:10)
Not by Bread Alone: Like chapter 7, this chapter is also very skillfully organized in a loose chiastic fashion, with the same “in and out” pattern as in chapter 7.

Questions preachers ask
What does Deuteronomy 8 warn against?
