Provision's Purpose is Praise
Commentators agree that God's provision has a higher purpose than mere physical satisfaction. When you "eat and are full," the intended result is to "bless the Lord your God." John Calvin calls it unreasonable not to acknowledge the source of our food when we are satisfied. The verse establishes a direct link between experiencing God's material goodness and offering Him explicit praise and thanksgiving.
