ASLC Devotions -- Monday

Deuteronomy 6:10-12 
10 When the Lord your God has brought you into the land that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—a land with fine, large cities that you did not build, ¹¹houses filled with all sorts of goods that you did not fill, hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you have eaten your fill, ¹²take care that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 

I'm reminded a bit of a child, who wrapped up in the excitement of a new place, forgets to say "thank you." Perhaps an interpretation that's a bit too simple, but I see us all a little overwhelmed and star-struck sometimes at the bounty that is around us. It can be pretty amazing to take stock of all that we have -- the opportunities, that options, the infrastructure, the relationships.

Take care that you do not forget the Lord. Take care. 

Peace, 
Pastor Jenn
