The Israelites were traveling through the wilderness on their way to Canaan. They wandered there for over 40 years and faced many difficulties and hardships. Yet, they depended on God for their sustenance and He never left them down. He was always there for them. And, they served Him faithfully for much of the time. Yet, as they were ready to enter the promised land, Moses warned them not to forget God when they prospered in their new land, but sure enough, it wasn't long until they forsook God in Canaan.
Many times, that's how it can be with us. It's easy to depend on God when things are rough. We couldn't do without Him. Yet, when things go well, we seem to forget that it is God who got us here and God who still supports us. We live in relative ease and freedom here in America and that has spelled doom for more Christians than the rigors or persecution in the past or in other countries. Lord, help us not to forget You even though life is easy. Help us to continue to depend on You. Help us to boldly share our faith with others and be outspoken for You all the time.
