Are We There Yet?

The Well Church Edmond

The gifts of humility, contentment, and trust are best received in the wilderness, but they are easily forgotten in the Promise Land. Moses’ last words to the Israelites can be summed up simply as “remember." He warns them of the dangers that come with forgetting where they came from and who brought them there: pride, entitlement, and self-reliance. The Israelites’ story reminds us all that gaining the Promise Land and forgetting God is ultimately a loss.
