Clarke: Deu 6:12 - Beware lest thou forget the Lord

Beware lest thou forget the Lord - In earthly prosperity men are apt to forget heavenly things. While the animal senses have every thing they can wish, it is difficult for the soul to urge its way to heaven; the animal man is happy, and the desires of the soul are absorbed in those of the flesh. God knows this well; and therefore, in his love to man, makes comparative poverty and frequent affliction his general lot. Should not every soul therefore magnify God for this lot in life? "Before I was afflicted,"says David, "I went astray;"and had it not been for poverty and affliction, as instruments in the hands of God’ s grace, multitudes of souls now happy in heaven would have been wretched in hell. It is not too much to speak thus far; because we ever see that the rich and the affluent are generally negligent of God and the interests of their souls. It must however be granted that extreme poverty is as injurious to religion as excessive affluence. Hence the wisdom as well as piety of Agur’ s prayer, Pro 30:7-9 : "Give me neither poverty nor riches, lest I be full and deny thee, or lest I be poor and steal,"etc.

Haydock: Deu 6:12 - Full

Full. Our Saviour seems to apply this to his disciples, in a spiritual sense, remarking that Moses and the prophets had prepared the way for them. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours, John iv. 38. (Haydock)

Gill: Deu 6:12 - Then beware lest thou forget the Lord // which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage

Then beware lest thou forget the Lord,.... To love, fear, and worship him, and keep his commands; creature enjoyments being apt to get possession of the heart, and the affections of it; Pro 30:9.

which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; into a land abounding with all the above good things, and therefore under the highest obligations to remember the Lord and his kindnesses, and to serve and glorify him: Exo 20:2.
