they forgot me…

I have taken the time in the last few days to reread some books that over the past year have forever changed my life. In rereading one of them I came across the following passage.

When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;
then they forgot me.

- Hosea 13:6

It really was a slap in the face. It was such a great reminder of how complacent I can be and how I try to use an almighty God as more as a idol. Its like I reason with him. This passage is so true. How often has he provided for me then I forgot him. Or given me what I asked for, only for me to throw it in his face and say: ” I don’t want it anymore”.
