Struggling Well With Life

That is the message of Deuteronomy 8. God’s people are reminded not to forget Him, and the works He has done. “He led you all the way in the desert”, “He humbled you causing you to hunger, then feeding you with manna”, “as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you”, God is bringing you to a good land”, “BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT FORGET THE LORD YOUR GOD”, “who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. He led you through the vast and dreadful desert”. God did a mighty work for, and in His people, and He has done a mighty work in me, and in you. I was reminded in this chapter how I was led, humbled, fed, disciplined, brought to a new place, brought out of the sin my life was enslaved to, and led through some pretty dreadful desert experiences in my journey. God has done a mighty work in His people, in me, in you. May we never forget that work, or forget Him, and may our history be used to empower us to trust Him for the call on allof our lives, and keep us em-pathetically humble to those who need the same rescuing and saving that we have received. I remember His work, and am so very grateful.
