Power to Get Wealth

Deuteronomy Diamonds-


In Chapter 8:18-"And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."


It is God who gives us the power to get wealth. Wealth is not a bad thing.How can it be bad since God only gives us good things? The key for us is to remember Him. That is our part. God's part is the covenant He established with our fathers. He always keeps His word. He is always looking for a people with whom He can keep His established covenant.

Faithful God looking for a faithful people.

Why is it so hard to remember that everything we have comes from God?
How hard can that be? Why do we always need to be reminded that in ourselves there is no good thing? Even in this we are reliant on Him. Only He can keep us reliant on Him. Everything comes from God-even the ability to acknowledge that everything comes from Him.

'Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it...
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here's my heart, O take and seal it.
Seal it for Thy courts above.''
