A Call to Remember and Obey
10 When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. 12 For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, 13 and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful! 14 Do not become proud at that time and forget the Lord your God, … 18 Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, …
We have been looking at biblical humility all week. The more successful … powerful … prosperous … we become, the more difficult humility becomes. We must constantly be reminded … remind ourselves … that God is the source of all our blessings.
Remember where your help comes from. Your help comes from the LORD … not from your own abilities. Even those abilities … talents … spiritual gifts … come from the LORD!
