Deuteronomy 8:7
For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
For the Lord was bringing Israel into Canaan, a good land given as a gift and rich in blessings and provision, abundant in water with brooks of water, fountains and springs, and depths and deep and underground sources springing and rising out of valleys and hills, and its plentiful water belonged to the rich prosperity promised to them. Its well-watered and fertile character was already evident where Abraham first camped at Shechem, in its grassy valley, olive groves, and springs.
In context the promise belongs to instruction that Israel obey God's commandments and remember His care in the wilderness, connecting keeping the commandments with living and multiplying and entering to possess the land promised to their ancestors, teaching what God required for them to be a holy people. The requirements given as they entered the land He gave them were to be kept before the people so they would not forget God's will. The land and its blessings and prosperity were theirs on condition of obedience to God's law and commandments. Israel's disloyalty made it impossible for God to fulfill His agreement with them.
God's word to Israel was verified in that because of disobedience only two of the adults who left Egypt entered Canaan and the rest died in the wilderness, showing He will vindicate His word today if leaders depart from His commandments. The lessons of the chapter are of the greatest importance and are given to present believers as truly as to Israel. The words in Deuteronomy 1, 7, and 8 are to be read and obeyed now as written for admonition upon those living at the ends of the world, requiring each person to ask whether a course is the will of the Lord rather than human opinion and judgment, to give up self-pleasing and self-will, and to be molded after Christ's example in self-denial and self-sacrifice unto perfection of character.
Standing in Deuteronomy 4-11, the verse is to be read prayerfully for instruction in understanding God's dealings with His people and means much to every soul carrying responsibilities in connection with sanitarium work, with all the directions God has given there to be carefully observed from the greatest to the least.
