Deuteronomy 6:10-12 - “When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you… then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”
The above was Moses’ admonition to the Israelites. It was a very stern warning to them.
“As you have left the land of bondage and servitude, the Lord your God is going to so much bless you with every good thing, great and mighty cities you will conquer, you will eat and drink to satisfaction.
A great change is going to happen in your lives. You are going to enjoy the blessing of God in ways that your parents never knew, but…”
Be careful! Watch out! There is a particular danger that you are going to encounter as God’s blessings flow into your life.
Success carries with it the temptation of pride, greed, lust, and forgetting the Lord. Moses said “…be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”
Disobedience accomplished after a great success can cause God to be sorry a person was even blessed. Saul’s victory and subsequent spiritual fall should serve as a warning to us that success and wealth and blessings can easily come between us and our God.
Lord, we pray this day, that even in the midst of success and victory, deliver us from every temptation of pride and vices that’d make us forget our God, our source, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.
You will have good success this 2022.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
