Remember God Who Gave You All

Thursday, October 29

Deuteronomy 8:10-11 (NKJV)

“When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you. Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,”

Devotion

It is truly unwise as a believer to forsake the Lord your God or forget His benefits to you. He is a faithful God who gave you wealth and the power to acquire it (Deuteronomy 8:18).

As Pastor Jabin Chavez preached on Sunday, one of the great disciplines of the believer is the ability to look back on your life and say, “Lord, thank You! All my life, You have been faithful,” because truly, He is a faithful God. Pastor Jabin further stated, “what can you truly give the God who has everything, whose asphalt is made of gold, whose fences are made of pearls, and who has the most beautiful dwelling and throne room? You give Him the one thing that is rare on earth: honour. You also give Him praise and worship.”

The biblical lives of Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Daniel, Esther, Job, David, and the lepers who went back to give thanks to God are exemplary of God’s faithfulness and truth. The Lord honours those who honour Him (1 Samuel 2:30).

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord.

Today's Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all the goodness You have shown me. Looking back, I can see Your hand in every major milestone in my life. I am grateful for Your faithfulness and that You do not change. I ask You to teach me the fear of the Lord. Teach me to look to You and to honor You, no matter what circumstances I go through. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Apply It Today

The objective is to stay consistent and faithful to the Lord daily. This can be developed by staying before the Lord in the Word of God and prayer daily. One who is rooted and grounded in the Word will not stray. A believer who stays close to the Lord in continual prayer will grow in intimacy with the Lord. Read Jeremiah 29:12–14.

Resources

• Watch “God’s Economy System” and discover the importance of trusting God, honoring Him with what He has entrusted to you, and living according to His principles.

• Start a “Remember His Faithfulness” journal. Each evening, write down one thing God provided, one prayer He answered, or one way He helped you through a difficult season.
