What do you do when the blessings of God
distracts you from the will of God?
Deuteronomy 8:6-14
Deuteronomy 8:19
Genesis 39:1
Genesis 39:2-6
1. Blessings can become distractions and we can miss the bigger thing that God has for us.
When the blessings feel spiritual.
Genesis 39:3
When the blessing feed our ego.
When it fuels our disbelief.
Verse 11 says,
“In your plenty, don’t forget the LORD your God.”
Verse 14,
“Don’t become proud and forget the LORD.”
Verse 15,
“Don’t forget that he led you through the wilderness.”
Verse 18,
“Remember the LORD your God.”
2. The blessings won’t distract you if you “remember” God.
3. When people remember how God was faithful to them in the past, they are faithful to God in the present. When they forget how God was faithful in the past, they are unfaithful to him in the present.
