Deuteronomy 6:11

9 ^aYou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Caution Against Disobedience

10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He¹ swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities ^awhich you did not build,

11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—^awhen you have eaten and are full—

12 then beware, lest you forget the ^aLord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 You shall ^afear the Lord your God and serve Him, and ^bshall take oaths in His name.

14 You shall not go after other gods, ^athe gods of the peoples who are all around you

Deuteronomy 6:10-12

There is a similar passage in Deuteronomy 6:10-12, which also warns against forgetting God as one’s life improves on a material level, and thus, when there appears to be less of a need to depend on Him. When our physical needs are less pressing, it is easy to forget about the Supplier of our needs. It is easy to forget where we came from. It is not a coincidence that as the prosperity and standard of living in the Israelitish nations have increased that God has been increasingly forgotten, just as these passages warn.
