Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statues, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: And the LORD shewed signs and wonders great and sore, upon...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us. That would have been Israel’s righteousness if the people had observed to do all these commandments before the Lord; but it was marred and spoilt by disobedience. We rejoice to know that we who believe in Jesus have a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. Every word here seems emphatic. Like the children of Israel, we are to observe all the commandments of the Lord our God; not merely some of them, picking and choosing as...

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. Observe, dear friends, that the Lord demands of his people universal obedience to his commands: “All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Look back, and derive from your past experience a motive for more careful obedience in the future. He does not read his own...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. It is well to have a good memory, and that is the best memory which remembers what is best worth remembering. There are many...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, These two sentences come very closely together: “Suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna.” I suppose we are not fit to eat heavenly bread till first of all we begin to hunger for it. God loves to give to men who will eat with an appetite: “He suffered thee to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, — What a wonderful sequence there is in these short sentences! “He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,” and one would think that the next sentence would be, “and allowed thee to starve.” No; it is, “and fed thee with manna.” They had the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. See how God not only cares for his people’s food, but for their raiment also. We may, therefore, well take heed to Paul’s injunction: “Having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” Whether it was by a miracle that the Israelites’ raiment did not wear out,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. What a wonderful experience the Israelites had in the wilderness! They were always fed, though in a waste howling wilderness, dry and barren. They always had water following them from that stream which flowed out of the flinty rock, from Which you might sooner have...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. We sometimes think that we could do without the Lord’s chastening. If he will give us food and raiment, and keep our foot from swelling, we will not crave the rod. No; but though we do not ask for it, the rod is one of the choicest...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, — Note that we are not only to remember God’s dealings with us, but we are to consider them, to ponder them, to weigh them. “Consider in thine heart,” — Deu_8:5. That, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Do I speak to anyone who is just now under the rod? “Consider in thine...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; There are changes in our condition. Israel was not always in the wilderness; the chosen people were...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; I will not go into a spiritualizing of all this; but I know that you, who have come to believe in Christ, and have entered by faith into his rest, know what sweet things God has provided for you; not merely bare necessaries, but choice...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. There are deep things hidden away in the gospel treasuries. Silver and gold there may be none; but then, iron and copper are much more useful things, and the most useful things we...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; When you live in communion with God, and he brings you into the full enjoyment of the covenant blessings, then there is no scarceness with you, there is no lack of anything. Deu_8:9. A land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. He permits you to eat, not to satiety, but you may eat and be full; only not so full but that you can always bless his name. Do not be afraid of holy joy. Eat and be full of it, only let it never take off your heart from him who...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. God permits his people to eat, and to be full; but, when they are so, they must take care that they do not become proud, and that they do not begin to ascribe their profiting to themselves.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: That would be practical atheism; not keeping the commandments of God, is one of the most vivid ways of forgetting him.
