Va'etchanan: The Danger of Spiritual Erosion
Moses fears and warns the Israelites about what will happen in the future when they dwell in their inherited land. The passage of time since the Giving of the Torah and the miracles of the desert, combined with their focus on worldly matters, could lead the nation to materialism. This, in turn, would lead to forgetting the miracles Hashem made for them..
To prevent all of this, Moses asks the people to constantly contemplate all the wondrous miracles that G-d performed for Israel: by taking them out of Egypt, by His unique revelation to them at Mount Sinai, and by the wonders that accompanied them in the desert and on the eve of their entry into the land. When they contemplate all these things, they will come to love and revere G-d, and consequently, serve Him properly and merit to inherit the Land securely…
