TOPIC: ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD IS YOUR SOURCE
BIBLE PASSAGE: DEUTERONOMY 8:11-18

Key Verse: “But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today” – Deuteronomy 8:18.

Moses knew he was about to die and was rightly concerned about the future of the Israelites in Canaan. As observed in the passage, he was giving the Israelites the ground rules on how to handle situations that might arise in the Promised Land. He expected them to prosper in the land and felt they should also remember that God made things turn out well for them. He did not want success to cause them to turn away from God, but to remember that He is the source of their wealth and success.

The Bible is full of stories of people who forgot what they should have remembered. Are you like that? The butler forgot Joseph and King Ahasuerus forgot Mordecai. On several occasions, God had to send prophets to remind Israel of His goodness to them; “That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments” (Psalm 78:7).

As Christians, we must be in the habit of remembering the love and goodness of God. Failure to acknowledge God in times of prosperity is a mark of terrible ingratitude. Nothing should make us forget our source of blessings. Our disposition should always be to give honour, adoration and glory to the Lord who alone sustains and keeps us by His grace.

ACTION:
Never forget how you were raised.

PRAYER:
Thank the Lord for lifting you from nothing to something.
