How much trust do you have in God? This was one of the central questions posed to Israel in the book of Deuteronomy. In Deuteronomy 15, Israel is asked whether or not they believe God will provide for them. To demonstrate their faith in the Lord's blessings, they were instructed to forgive their debts every seven years, to benevolently give to the poor, to bestow goods upon servants who fulfilled their work contracts, and to give the firstborn of their flocks and herds over to God. Their faith had to be in the Almighty and never in wealth.
