“你要记念耶和华你的神，因为得财富的能力是他赐给你的，为要坚定他向你的列祖起誓所立的约，像今天一样。”
申命记 8:18
“But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Deuteronomy 8:18
As we enter the month often associated with giving thanks, this reminder from Moses is an important one!
We so easily forget to give thanks when things are going well. It's easy for us to whine and ask God to help us when we are in trouble, but we often feel like we "deserve" the good things that happen to us.
God reminds us that what we have is simply a confirmation of His grace and His faithfulness to do what He has said. We need to remind ourselves, and each other, that the blessings we have come from His hand and not because we deserved them more than someone else.
