Deuteronomy 31:21
"For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant."
Key Reflection
This passage suggests that prosperity can lead to spiritual complacency and idolatry. The people's abundant blessings under the Promised Land might cloud their judgment, leading them to forsake God in favor of other deities and ultimately breach their covenant with Him.
