Reflecting on the church-wide reading of Deuteronomy prior to the Feast, what the Feast of Tabernacles pictures, and the upcoming American national holiday of Thanksgiving, this message explores a warning that God gave to ancient Israel in Deuteronomy and a warning that certainly has relevance today. At its simplest, the warning can be stated: when you have eaten and are full in the land you will be given, do not forget God.
