The Wild
Description:
The wild can be unsettling, uncomfortable and even
unbearable. It is in the wild that we tend to forget what God has done. But,
what if there was a different way to live in the wild? To actually hold onto
the most important things?
Like us, every time God’s people failed to remember they
were set free, they ended up in slavery, fear, and worry. One of the most
significant (and repeated) words in the book of Deuteronomy is the word
REMEMBER.
Join us this summer starting June 14 for a journey through the Old Testament as we discover
ancient practices that will help anchor our uncertain future.

Key Passage Deuteronomy 8: 9-18 New Living Translation (NLT)
Deuteronomy 8:9-18 NLT
It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where
iron is as common as stone, and copper is abundant in the hills. When you have
eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has
given you. “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you
do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and
decrees that I am giving you today. For when you have become full and
prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, and when your flocks and herds
have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with
everything else, be careful! Do not become proud at that time and forget the
Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. Do not forget
that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous
snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the
rock! He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your
ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. He did all
this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my
own strength and energy.’ Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives
you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to
your ancestors with an oath.
