The Forgotten Side of Thankful  (Part 2)
Deuteronomy 8:7-20
 

If God it, He’s using it. If He’s using it, I it. If I need it, I can God for it.

In Deuteronomy 8, Moses tells them to remember 2 things:

• Remember the whole way…

• Remember the Lord your God…

Big Truth: Those who forget the whole way will eventually forget their God.
 

Remembering the whole way teaches valuable lessons.

• The whole way produces humility. (v. 2b)

• The whole way reveals your heart. (v. 2c)

• The whole way tests your obedience. (v. 2d)

• The whole way teaches gratefulness for “abundance” and “enough.” (v. 3-4)

• The whole way brings divine discipline that changes lives. (v. 5-6)

• The whole way God’s blessings and people who bless God. (v. 7-10)

How do we know if we’ve forgotten God or are starting to forget God?

• We God. (v. 11

• We become . (v. 12-14a, 17)

• We forget God, His , His provision, His protection, His refinement and His warnings.
(v. 14b-16, 18-19)
