Deuteronomy 32: Learning from the Past
We must continually choose gratitude, recognizing our dependence on God. Otherwise, our obedience is ephemeral—it will not last.

Embedded in human nature is a tendency to forget, and nothing seems to disappear quicker than gratitude. We need daily sustenance to remember God.
We try to define ourselves in many ways. As followers of Christ, we should find our identity in Him.
In times of cultural chaos, we need to live by faith and not by fear. Life is short, but God has given an eternal inheritance to those who love Him.
When you have trouble believing that you are a new creature in Christ Jesus, affirm your identity with truth.
The world seeks to infiltrate our minds with lies. But we must do battle with these lies by daily affirming the truths found in Scripture about our identity in Christ.
Gratitude should be all-pervasive in the Christian life, because there’s nothing we have that we didn’t receive from God. The only way we can sustain gratitude and cultivate contentment is by a daily, conscious choice.
Gratitude is a choice, not a feeling. Ken Boa teaches on the importance of a gratitude mindset, and how we cultivate it: by remembering God’s faithfulness and goodness in the past, His benefits in the present, and His promises for the future.
Dr. Boa explains that it is biblically warranted and actually possible to grow in spiritual things, because God is always with us.
