Don't forget where your blessings came from. (Nehemiah 9:35)

Nehemiah 9:35



New Living Translation (NLT)
 
 
35 Even while they had their own kingdom, they did not serve you, though you showered your goodness on them. You gave them a large, fertile land, but they refused to turn from their wickedness.



Sometimes the very blessings God has showered on us make us forget Him. We are often tempted to rely on wealth for security rather than on God. As you see what happened to the Israelites, look at your own life. Do your blessings make you thankful to God and draw you closer to Him, or do they make you feel self-sufficient and forgetful of God?
