When we have little we live in dependence on God. The Result of Forgetting God. Pride begins to grow when we forget our absolute dependence upon God. Most of us have had an early wilderness experience. Or perhaps you are experiencing a trip through the wilderness right now.
Resources are short, living from day to day, and the future in insecure.
The danger is when we forget that it was the Lord who brought us through. Notice that this is in our hearts. We may still go through the motions of worshiping Him and publicly giving thanks, but in our hearts we take the credit. We cannot expect God to bless disobedience. The Lord loves us too much to allow us to live that way.
