Hosea chapter 13 verse 6 (NIV)
When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;
then they forgot me.
This verse reminded me of the danger of being complacent. The people of Israel took God’s blessing for granted, and went their own way. They forgot God.
When things are going well for us, we must always remember and acknowledge God’s hand in that. When things are difficult this often drives us into God, as it should. But when things are going well for us, let that drive us into God’s Presence in praise and worship, and then we will indeed be twice blessed.
Dear Lord,
I ask that You draw me close so that I never forget, or take Your blessings for granted. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
