And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give--with great and good cities that you did not build, and houses full of all ood things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive tress that you did not plant--and when you eat and are full, then take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought yout out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery (Deuteronomy 6:10-12).
A near-by pastor has posted some challenging thoughts on this passage and I want to encourage you to read what he has to say. Visit www.colossiansthreesixteen.com and read the posts for Monday May 28 and Tuesday May 29.
God, as I eat my muffin and drink my coffee on my day off do not let me forget you. Forgive me for being so busy with myself that I reject you. Do not let my pursuit of wealth and pleasure, do not let my pursuit of me, push you out. I don't want to forget. I want to love you with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my might. I want to love YOU. Forgive me for loving me. Remind me today of who you are. Give me strength to intentionally read to know you. Provide for me rich reminders of the work of Christ. God I want to know you show me who you are.
Afraid to forget and in Christ's name
Amen
