How easy it is to forget God. Even those of us who claim to believe in Him and have had our relationship restored to Him through faith in Jesus Christ, can find ourselves forgetting all He has done for us. We grow indifferent and immune to His goodness and grace. We can even find ourselves complaining about what we believe to be our unfair lot in life. And the Israelites were no different. Even though they had been rescued out of slavery in Egypt and delivered to the borders of the land of promise, they were guilty of forgetting all that God had done for them. Which is why, in Deuteronomy 8:1-10, we have Moses reminding them of God’s past acts of goodness, and encouraging them to believe that He will continue to provide for them in the days ahead. The land of promise was rich and abundant, but the blessings it provided would be from God. A point Moses did not want the Israelites to miss.
