Deuteronomy 9:7
"Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people."
Key Reflection
This verse highlights Israel's unworthiness despite receiving the Promised Land; their "stiff-necked" nature indicates resistance and stubbornness, suggesting that God's favor is not based on their righteousness but on his sovereign will to fulfill promises made to their ancestors.
