Never forget

 

We are told often to “never forget”. 

Whether it is the tragedy of 9/11 or wear pink for breast cancer, we are told to never forget.

God gave us a “never forget” in the Bible. In Deuteronomy chapter 6, Moses told the people to never forget God.

They were moving into the promised land and taking over existing cities. These cities contained homes, vineyards and wells that these people didn’t have to labor for.

Anytime we don’t have to work for something, we take it for granted. When we take it for granted, it isn’t long until we lose the right to possess it.

We use the phrase, “He pulled himself up by his own bootstraps”. This is an impossibility. No one is ever the sole reason for their own success. We all owe a debt to everyone who has ever invested in us. Every author whose book we have ever read. Everyone who has laid the groundwork in our field before our arrival.

Most of all, we must never forget the Lord. It is by Him that all good things come to our lives. He is the source of all blessings that we enjoy.

Deuteronomy 6:12: Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
