2 And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. 3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 8)
As God has Moses look back over the experience of God's people since the Exodus and prepares them for the promised land, He reviews what they could have and should have learned. Start with humility - the fear of the LORD. Allow yourself to experience those things that test your faith: hunger, fear, uncertainty. Finally, give your heart to obedience. Believe that the LORD does love you, have the best in mind for you, and will see you through to where He has called you. Along the way, keep checking in with His Word. He will not lead you astray.
