To love God, Israel must remember Him: not merely in thought but in a life of obedience. This the key to true life and abundance.
1. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PAIN
The wilderness is God’s classroom, where pain exposes our hearts and teaches us to trust Him: so don’t waste your pain; humble yourself and remember His goodness.
2. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PROSPERITY
When things go well, pride can lift us up into self-reliance (“my power did this”) or self-righteousness (“I’m better than others”), but every good gift comes from God by grace.
3. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PARDON
As Moses pleaded for Israel on the basis of God’s promise and glory, so Jesus now intercedes for us (Heb 7:25), saving us completely as our forgiveness rests not on our goodness but on God’s faithful grace.
Remember God in every season by loving and obeying Him, for where Israel failed, Jesus obeyed perfectly and died for our sins: so remember Him for His gospel.
