11 Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His rules and His statutes, which I command you today, 12 lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, ~ Deuteronomy 8:12-14
God warned the Israelites to not forget the LORD their God after they had begun to prosper. This is still true for the Church today. Your business is finally beginning to bloom. Your clientele has grown substantially. You can hardly keep up with orders. You are selling, selling, selling. There is no need to beg the LORD to prosper your business anymore. Now, you don’t have time to gather in worship as a family. You just can’t find the time to pray.
So, you begin to justify your heart growing cold to God by making excuses. I have so much to do I can’t make it out to church today, maybe next week. For sure, I’m going to make it to at least one Christmas program this year.
Let me just tell you right here, God is not interested in your scraps. He is a mighty conqueror. He is an awesome king. He is LORD of Lords and King of kings. There is no one like Him, and there is none beside Him. He is the mighty God.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Always Give Thanks For What God Has Done For You.
