Entering day 2 of the month of thanksgiving, today's ODB devotion came so timely! (PTL !) It is from Deuteronomy 6:10-19 - God's commands to His people when they entered the Promised Land :

God asked His people to : Fear the Lord (v.13).• Serve Him (v.13).• Do not go after other gods (v.14).• Do not tempt the Lord (v.16).• Keep the commandments (v.17).• Do what is right and good (v.18).
The gist of all these which sound like "rules" is basically warning them not to forget the LORD- source of all blessings, particularly when everything looks bright and comfortable. While we would often remember to pray and seek God in times of need, let's not forget to keep a thankful heart in times of abundance, joy and contentment.
Prosperity may be a greater test of character than poverty.
