The Forgotten Side of Thankful (Part 2)
Deuteronomy 8:7-20
If God __ it, He’s using it. If He’s using it, I __ it. If I need it, I can __ God for it.
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses tells them to remember 2 things:
• Remember the whole way…
• Remember the Lord your God…
Big Truth: Those who forget the whole way will eventually forget their God.
Remembering the whole way teaches valuable lessons.
• The whole way produces humility. (v. 2b)
• The whole way reveals your heart. (v. 2c)
• The whole way tests your obedience. (v. 2d)
• The whole way teaches gratefulness for “abundance” and
“enough.” (v. 3-4)
• The whole way brings divine discipline that changes lives. (v. 5-6)
• The whole way __ God’s blessings and __ people who bless God. (v. 7-10)
How do we know if we’ve forgotten God or are starting to forget God?
• We __ God. (v. 11
• We become __. (v. 12-14a, 17)
• We forget God, His __, His provision, His __, His refinement and His warnings. (v. 14b-16, 18-19)
