Joshua 24:14-18 If we remember, what happens?

Joshua 24:14 God commands us to worship and serve Him

Joshua 24:16 Israel promised to serve the Lord. Because He is worthy.

Judges 2:10-12 How did Israel do with their promise? They forgot to remember and praise God for His blessings.

How can we break the cycle?

What about when it's hard? Thank God for the blessings we do have.

Philippians 4:5-6 - Stay calm rather than anxious. Pray with thanksgiving

Philippians 4:7 - Become more like Christ

Romans 8:28-29 What's God's best for you? Become more like Christ.
