Don't let familiarity make you quit
Don't Let Familiarity Make You Forget
Deuteronomy 6:12
"Then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."
It is possible to become so accustomed to a blessing that you forget what life was like before God gave it to you. Yesterday's miracle can become today's normal, and what once made you shout can eventually become something you barely notice.
God warned Israel that prosperity could produce spiritual amnesia. When the struggle ended, they might forget the One who brought them through it. We can do the same. The job we prayed for becomes the job we complain about. The relationship we asked God for becomes the relationship we take for granted. The health we once celebrated becomes ordinary.
Never let familiarity erase gratitude. Remember where He found you. Remember what He brought you through. Remember the doors He opened when you had no key.
Here's the challenge: What blessing have you become so familiar with that you've stopped thanking God for it?
Action Step: Identify one blessing you routinely take for granted and intentionally thank God for it three times today.
Have a remembering and Victorious Monday
