Have you ever noticed that you tend to forget God whenever things are going so well for you in life? I've noticed this in my own life; when I have what I need, and get things I don't need, and am "fat and happy," then I tend to forget God.

It's when life gets hard that I tend to turn back to God and ask, "Why?"

The instruction to the Israelites was for them not to forget God when they enjoyed the blessings of a land they did not work...when they were "fat and happy."

Deuteronomy 5:3 and Deuteronomy 6:10-12
