Deuteronomy 4-6, Psalm 54
Deuteronomy 6:10-12 (NLT)
“The Lord your God will soon bring you into the land he swore to give you when he made a vow to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is a land with large, prosperous cities that you did not build. The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did not produce. You will draw water from cisterns you did not dig, and you will eat from vineyards and olive trees you did not plant. When you have eaten your fill in this land, be careful not to forget the Lord, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt.”
In Deuteronomy 6:10–12, Moses warns the people not to forget the Lord in times of prosperity. He reminds them of Father-God’s active role in fulfilling His covenant promise to bring them into the Promised Land. The Lord would provide abundantly—houses they did not build, wells they did not dig, and vineyards they did not plant. Yet Moses cautions them not to forget the One who delivered them.
These verses remind me of the importance of remembering the Lord’s faithfulness in my own life. Cultivating gratitude and regularly recalling Father-God’s blessings strengthens my trust in Him and deepens my relationship with the Lord. I have learned that when life becomes comfortable, it is easy to grow lax in devotion. I begin to forget the struggles I once faced and how the Lord carried me through them when I cried out in prayer.
Moses teaches that vigilance is necessary to maintain a faithful relationship with the Lord. Prosperity is not the danger—forgetfulness is. Remembering the Lord keeps my heart aligned with Him, whether I am in seasons of abundance or need.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who remains faithful to His promises—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
