READ: Deuteronomy 8:10-14
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth…” Deuteronomy 8:18
Moses defined success as “when thou hast eaten and art full”.
Successful people suffer most from a lack of remembrance. They cannot remember how they came to be where they are. Like the prophet he was, Moses warned them about specific blessings and the tendency to forget the Lord’s input into their lives.
Everyone who has built goodly houses and dwelt therein should be careful of forgetting the Lord. Everyone whose money (silver and gold) is multiplied should be careful of forgetting the Lord. Everyone who has prospered is a candidate for pride and neglect of the Lord.
Do not ask me to explain how this problem comes about. It is just a known fact that blessings and prosperity make people forget God. What must you do about it? Just decide to be extra God-fearing and extra spiritual when you have all these things. Pray for humility and grace to avoid this all too familiar trend!
“Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed” (1 Timothy 6:17-19, NASB).
