'...Lest You Forget'

                                                                     Deuteronomy 6:10-12
'And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you- with great and good cities that you did not build, and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant- and when you eat and are full..
Then take care lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.'

In church the past few weeks the pastor has been preaching messages on Judges; comparing the people of God (Israelites) to today's church. And these verses go right along with that theme.

When your life is going well, when you're passing in your school, when you're surrounded by friends, when you have a family that loves you, when the paycheck comes in time, when all you can see is the beautiful rainbow....
Take care! Take care, my friends! Lest. You. Forget. Lest you forget the reason you are here. Lest you forget from Whom is was given. Lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of your captivity and into His redeeming blood. Take care lest you forget!
