Context — Obedience and Discipline
5what He did for you in the wilderness until you reached this place;
6and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that belonged to them.
7For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done.
8You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 9and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.Cross References

Deuteronomy 11:7 Summary
This verse reminds us that we have seen God do great things, and that should motivate us to trust and obey Him. Just like the Israelites saw God part the Red Sea and provide for them in the wilderness (as seen in Exodus 14:13-31 and Deuteronomy 8:2-5), we have our own experiences of God's power and care. By remembering what God has done, we can have the strength to follow His commands and live the life He has planned for us, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. We can trust that God is good and that He wants the best for us, and that should give us the courage to obey Him, even when it's hard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to see the great works of the Lord?
This refers to the miraculous events that the Israelites witnessed during their journey, such as the parting of the Red Sea, as seen in Exodus 14:13-31, which demonstrated God's power and care for His people.
Why is it important to remember what we have seen God do?
Remembering what God has done helps us to trust Him and obey His commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:2, where it says that God led the Israelites through the wilderness to test their hearts and to know what was in their hearts.
How can we apply this verse to our own lives?
We can apply this verse by reflecting on the ways God has worked in our own lives, such as answering prayers or providing for our needs, as seen in Psalm 107:1, which says to give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and then using those experiences to trust and obey Him.
What role does personal experience play in our faith?
Personal experience plays a significant role in our faith, as it helps us to know God personally and to trust in His goodness, as seen in Jeremiah 31:34, where it says that God will be our God and we will be His people, and He will forgive our iniquity and remember our sin no more.
