Proud Heart
Deuteronomy 8:14
then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
After detailing the wonders of the land God was giving, Moses cautioned that they might well forget as they became more in love with the abundance than with God.
A proud heart is a terrible thing. The most secret thoughts are of myself, and how fine I am, of my things and how I can get more. Love of God is crowded out.
Instead of pride, praise (verse 10). Instead of forgetfulness, follow the commands.
