Deuteronomy 8:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:17
The warning against pride—'And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth'—addresses the universal temptation to attribute success to personal ability rather than divine blessing. Taking credit for God's gifts reveals prideful forgetfulness. The antidote is remembering 'it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth' (verse 18)—even ability to produce wealth comes from God. Recognizing God's ownership of all prevents arrogance and promotes stewardship perspective.
