"Take Heed ... Lest Thou Forget"

When you were growing up, did you ever go away from your parents for a few days?  You might have gone to camp, on a school band trip, or a church youth retreat.

What did your parents do just before you left home?  They probably recited a long list of reminders.  You probably heard “Don’t forget” and “Remember” many times before you left on your trip.

Why did your parents review all of those instructions?  Because they cared about your safety and well being.  They wanted what was best for you, so they repeated many instructions and warnings.

Just before Israel entered the Promised Land, God used His spokesman Moses to remind the Israelites about many instructions and warnings.  God told them to be careful not to forget several things.  We need to remember the same things God wanted the Israelites to remember.  Take heed, lest thou forget the following:

God wanted Israel to remember His commands and instructions to them.  He wanted them to remember His awesome power and the fear they felt in His presence.  That fear and reverence should have motivated Israel to obey God, but it didn’t.  We should remember:

Just like the Israelites, God has promised that if we disobey Him, we will bear the consequences brought on by our sin.  If we repent of our sins and seek God, we will find Him.  Praise God that He still offers repentance to His wayward children!  There is one more thing we should take heed of, lest we forget:

Concluding Thoughts: Just like the Israelites, we need to remember God’s commands and instructions.  We shouldn’t forget the times we’ve seen His awesome power.  We should remember that He has promised to send punishment if we disobey.  We must not forget that even when we do disobey, His goodness leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4).  Finally, we must remember that God has given us a very special relationship with Him.  He chose us, He loves us, He reveals Himself to us, He brought us out of sin’s bondage, and He has given us a new inheritance.  Because of all the things we remember, we ought to obey God fully.  When we do, we will be blessed.

Remember and obey God’s commands.  If you have disobeyed, accept His offer of repentance.  Thank Him for who you are in Christ.  Make a commitment to obey Him fully from this day on.

Project: Do you know a class member or loved one who has forgotten some of these things?  Go to that person and lovingly urge him or her to remember.  Don’t miss Sunday School this Sunday.
