Forgetting=pride...Forgetting=Disobedience...bottomline...Forgetting=Independance
God then reminds them...
In verses 14-16:
Who brought you out from slavery (Egypt)
He led you through the great and terrible wilderness...
With its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was NO water...
He brought water for you out of the rock of flint...
In the wilderness He fed you manna...
WHY???? Read verse 16--that He might humble you and that He might test you to do good for you in the end.
Read verse 17---OTHERWISE, you may say in your heart, 'My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth'
God is so content to make you perfectly weak so that He is perfectly strong. WOW!
God gets more glory and we do NOT forget Him when we are CONTENT to be perfectly weak.
Keep reading...remember God (v 18)...it is He who is giving you power to make wealth...
God and God alone.
How freeing that it is not my brains, wisdom or power to restore me...it is only God and God alone for His glory and honor.
Amen!!!!!
