Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:7-8, 11-18 While wandering in the desert, suffering continually reminded the people of God, and the danger was that when they grew prosperous in the Promised Land they would forget him. Beginning in v. 10 with “When you eat, and are satisfied, you are to bless. God for what he has given you.” V.11: Take care that you do not forget the Lord your God. Then in v. 12 it says: “Lest when you have eaten ...” and in v. 14: “that your heart become haughty...” The people are to remember, in times of plenty, that it is God who brought them out of slavery, led them, and fed them, to test them and ultimately to give them prosperity. It is not by their own “power and ... might” (v. 17) that they will become wealthy, but rather it is God who gives them this power – in accordance with the agreements he made with Abraham, Isaac and Noah.

Scripture: Psalm 42 and 1 Kings 19:1-5a Do you remember the song from the tv show Hee-Haw? Buck Owens and Roy Clark would sing gloom, despair and agony on me. “Gloom despair and agony on me Deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all. Gloom, despair and agony on me.” By Pastor Linda Dolby
Scripture: Acts 2:1-21 Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker go to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. They order, and when the food comes, Obi-Wan digs in with his chopsticks, while Luke sits there and tries to maneuver the chopsticks, and although he tries many times, he is unable to get any food into his mouth. Obi-Wan looks up and says, “Use the fork, Luke, use the fork.” |
