警告百姓不可忘记主
11「你要谨慎，免得忘记耶和华－你的 神，不守他的诫命、典章、律例，就是我今日所吩咐你的；
13你的牛羊加多，你的金银增添，并你所有的全都加增，
14你就心高气傲，忘记耶和华－你的 神，就是将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来的，
15引你经过那大而可怕的旷野，那里有火蛇、蝎子、干旱无水之地。他曾为你使水从坚硬的磐石中流出来，
16又在旷野将你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃，是要苦炼你，试验你，叫你终久享福；
17恐怕你心里说：『这货财是我力量、我能力得来的。』
18你要记念耶和华－你的 神，因为得货财的力量是他给你的，为要坚定他向你列祖起誓所立的约，像今日一样。
19你若忘记耶和华－你的 神，随从别神，事奉敬拜，你们必定灭亡；这是我今日警戒你们的。
20耶和华在你们面前怎样使列国的民灭亡，你们也必照样灭亡，因为你们不听从耶和华－你们 神的话。」
11Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.
12Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,
13and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied,
14then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
15He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.
16He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you.
17You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
18But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
19If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.
20Like the nations the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.
1摩西担忧以色列百姓开始过丰盛的生活后，会变得如何？（14节）
2.摩西要求以色列百姓什么？（18节）
4.忘记神所赐的恩典，将会导致灭亡，你对此有何感受？
5.你是否建立起不让自己忘记神恩典的敬虔习惯？
6.为了不忘记我们所享受的丰盛都是出于神的恩典，今天你觉得自己可以做什么？
摩西告诉以色列百姓要谨慎自己，因为进入迦南后的丰盛生活，很有可能会使他们忘记神的恩典。因为衣食饱足的他们会变得心高气傲，误以为所得的一切都是靠自己的努力得来的，却遗忘其实这一切都是来自于神的帮助与恩典（17节）。这种只想彰显、证明自己能力的骄傲，甚至会使他们堕入更严重、离弃神的罪中，因此摩西呼吁神的百姓要专注，谨记神才是一切能力与祝福的源头，不可忘记并要坚守与祂所立的约，殷勤认识且忠心跟随祂（18节）。事实上，我们在信仰生活中最容易怠惰的时刻，往往不是在遭患难的时候，反而是在丰盛、顺遂的生活之中。因为少了那份对神的恳切，以致渐渐偏离祂的道路。我们当脱离这样的安逸与懒惰，记得神所赐的恩典，过感恩与竭力追求神的生活。
求神让我时常记得祢所赐的丰盛恩典，在认识与跟随上殷勤不懈怠。
