—Deuteronomy 8:11-20

“I Did It My Way,” a song made famous by Frank Sinatra, boasts of self-promotion. “I pulled myself up by my own bootstraps,” “I’m a self-made man,” “I alone can fix this,” are all statements we may have heard or even said that indicate self-reliance. Stories abound of celebrities who left their faith when fame and fortune arrived, only to meet with destruction. God warned Israel not to forget Him when things were going well. It is a good warning for us as well. Let us not forget God while we pursue education, financial stability, careers, and family. His Word clearly warns us of the results—we will perish because we would not listen to the voice of our God.
