Don`t forget the Lord Jesus

Dear Saints of God,

Deuteronomy 8:11"Be careful that you dont forget the Lord"

In Egypt God's people lived as dependants with no ability to improve their lot in life. To wean them from reliance on others God brought them into the wilderness to teach them reliance on Him. When they reached The Promised Land He warned them, "When you build fine houses and settle down… and all you have is multiplied… Be careful that you do not forget the Lord" (Deuteronomy 8:11-13).This is what's called "financial amnesia." We remember God in times of crisis, but forget Him as soon as they're over. We can't count our blessings because we're too busy counting our money. We don't need Him as much, because everything's going our way. We say, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me" (Deuteronomy 8:17).

When we have nothing, we praise the Lord. Once we get a little something, we want to look dignified, so we keep His name locked behind our lips when questioned about our success. The danger of entering The Promised Land is - forgetting where we came from.A little food in your stomach can make yesterday's hunger seem like a long time ago. A few clothes in your cupboard and a new lounge suite in your living room can make the old stuff you used to get by with, seem like a distant memory. The word for you today is, "Be careful that you do not forget the Lord."
