When we receive the blessings we have prayed for, it can be easy to forget the One who gave them to us. The Bible warns us about this. In Deuteronomy 8:11–14, Moses tells the Israelites not to forget the Lord after they enter the Promised Land. He reminds them to remember God’s role in their journey and success.
This message is still important today. When our prayers are answered, we should be grateful and humble. We need to recognize that our successes and blessings come from God's grace, not just our efforts.
Staying thankful and grateful helps us stay connected to God. It protects us from becoming proud and thinking we can do everything on our own. As James 1:17 says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above." By seeking God’s guidance and recognizing His presence in our lives, we honor Him and strengthen our faith.
In times of success, let’s remember to give thanks. Our blessings are reminders of God’s constant presence with us.
