Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:18
The reminder that God 'giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant' reveals wealth's purpose—enabling covenant community, not personal luxury. Prosperity should serve God's redemptive purposes, not selfish consumption. This challenges both asceticism (rejecting wealth as evil) and materialism (pursuing wealth as ultimate good). Wealth is morally neutral—a tool that can serve God's kingdom or become an idol. Stewardship recognizes God owns all and entrusts some with more resources for kingdom purposes.
