The danger of forgetting God Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson 1 b: Lesson Scripture, Deuteronomy 8: ,, 7-20 Lesson Aims: to summarize the ry warning in today's text, to recog -1! nize the importance of acknowl edging God, and to develop a rou ?jv tine/practice to never forget God. Background: Moses gave three sermons in Deuteronomy. Chap ters 1-3 were a review of God's ^ acts. Here Moses recounted the incident with the 12 scouts, their rebelling against God. the desert In wanderings and their victories. ?jj, Moses made an impassioned plea (l; to the people in chapter 4 to remain loyal to God (the second - sermon). Moses restated The Law " in chapter 5 verses 1-32. At the end "w of this chapter Moses makes an ii# urgent appeal to Israel to hear, to a learn and to follow God's Law (Richard's Complete Bible Hand _ book). Last week's lesson was the first part of the third sermon. "TThe importance of remember ing God and being obedient to Him is stressed over and over. Man always intended to do right. With out God, however, it's impossible. To become the "holy community" that God desires, priorities must be set. First and foremost is the shema. "The Lord our God is one Lord" must be real for each per son. If the relationship between God and humanity is in order, then the foundation for community is set. Because of God's love (agape) for Israel and their love for Him are established, then they can love one another. Because of the nature of humanity without God, they cannot exist. Moses kept "relationship" before them constantly. Deuteron omy 8:5 stated to them that "like a man disciplines his son so the Lord disciplines them" (paraphrased). They were about to cross the Jor dan (without Moses) and it was imperative that they don't forget. It appeared that these final instruc tions by Moses were in preparation for the test. The test will actually be what they do when and after they possess the Promised Land. lesson: The new generation of Israelites are given a warning not to forget God. First Moses estab lishes their impending blessings. The possession (in the desert) will have everything that they need. Even the scouts some 38 years ago attested to the goodness of it. Deserts are dry, barren places. Yet God gives them a land that has plenty of good water and its fields will yield a lot of food. There will not be any scarcity in this land. The hills will also give them iron and copper. When all are full, praise should go up to the Lord God. These praises are for His gift of this land. Moses then cautions them not to get full of themselves. Their pros perity isn't due to their actions but to God, the Great Provider. Moses plainly states that as good times occur, they will forget the Lord and His commandments. He quickly recounts their history from Egypt to the east bank of the Jordan River. They are told never to forget God. If they begin to worship other gods they will surely perish. "Israel's distinguishing trait was they heard God's call and obeyed. If they lost that characteristic they are like all of the other nations; their fate will be a terrible one" (UMI Direction Teacher).. Application: Unfortunately we sometimes get caught up in the blessing and forget where the bless ing came from! Our pride swells, we become arrogant and we look down on others less fortunate. Our hard work, the sacrifices, the open ing doors are due to God, not us! We can't forget, we shouldn't for get, yet we do. Is the warning true? Look around us. Yes, it is true. We don't always understand destruction. We miss the point! Destruction doesn't always mean being conquered by a foe. A people can decay from with in. Examine our families, our com munities, our nation. Yes we have the capability to destroy the Earth several times. We can't stop the dis respect, the abuse, the crimes in our communities and the like. The bombs, the biological warfare, none of it draws us closer together. And America has the audacity to tell another country what to do. God has blessed us individually as well as collectively. What did we do? We forgot God also and became full of our selves. Moses' words during the B.C. era are just as important today! God has provided and blessed us. How can we remember? Each of us should develop a practice, a tradition for remembering God daily. It should be meaningful to you and thus it becomes personal and you will not forget. The danger of forgetting God is life threaten ing. Don't ever forget.
