The Danger of Forgetting (Thinking We Deserve It)

May 17, 2026    Joel Hastings

It's easy to look at everything you've built — your career, your family, your home — and quietly think, "I did this." But Deuteronomy 8 has a warning for exactly that moment: the more comfortable life gets, the more tempted we are to forget the One who made it possible.


In this sermon spanning Deuteronomy 8:11–9:6, Pastor Joel Hastings walks through Moses' parting words to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land — a call to remember that God's provision, not our own power or righteousness, is the source of every good thing. From the wilderness to the land of plenty, the lesson is the same: humility and gratitude, not pride.


Here's a couple key takeaways

- When life gets comfortable, the danger of forgetting God is greatest — stay watchful.

- Pride creeps in when we take credit for blessings God gave us; remembering His faithfulness is the antidote.

- Trusting God isn't just spiritually right — it's restful; exhaustion is often a sign we've been carrying what was never ours to carry.
