Day 13 of 90 - Deut 1 - Deut 11

On Day 13, we read Deut. 1 - Deut. 11, and the verses that provoked me to tears were Deut. 6:10-12. It says, “When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt.”

As I read this words, I felt God scream from the mountaintop: “Don’t Forget Me.” I remember learning how to tithe when I was a little boy. My grandmother taught me to give a dollar of every 10 dollars I received. And I remember being in that phase where I would give to God, and I would see these supernatural surprises happening out of nowhere—money found on the street, random “holy $ handshakes” and I was in awe of how faithful God was to his word. It was small to some but major to me. Then, I got older, I got “smarter,” and I started to debate within myself. But all along, I felt God pulling me to honor him with my resources, with my relationships, and by giving Him undivided time in his presence. I drifted a little, but he never stopped blessing me. And it got to the point where the more successful I became, the more excuses I made. I settled for less presence, less sacrifice, and less surrender. 

But boy did God get my attention with this scripture. I strongly believe God is bringing you into a place of supernatural provision and prosperity. I’m not just talking about success according to man’s definition; I’m talking about unfathomable favor. I’ve seen God do it. I’ve seen God whisper my name in the wind, and next thing I know, I am preaching before thousands. I’ve seen God whisper my name in the wind, and next thing I know, I’m writing for stars and millionaires.

And God has no respect of persons. If he did it for me, He will do it for you. BUT….DONT FORGET HIM. Don’t forget to honor the God of your success. Because God will remove the gift when we forget the Giver.
