Charles Spurgeon Commentary Deuteronomy 8:11

"Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:" — Deuteronomy 8:11 (ASV)

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:

Whenever we see the word "Beware" in the Bible, we may be sure that there is something to beware of. The point here to note is that our times of prosperity are times of danger. I remember that Mr. Whitefield once asked the prayers of the congregation "for a young gentleman in very dangerous circumstances," for he had just come into a fortune of £5,000. Then is the time when prayer is needed even more than in seasons of depression and of loss.
