Deuteronomy 8:11-17 (NKJV)
11 "Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,
12  "lest --- when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;
13  "and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14  "when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your Gopd who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
......
17  "then you say in your heart,
'My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.'

Moses called the people to remember that God had delivered them and provided for them. Lest they begin to take credit for it themselves!
This is a good reminder for us today. God has blessed us beyond measure, but too often we do take credit for it and don't give Him the glory due Him!
So this week as we reflect on the cross and the empty tomb, lets not forget to remember that all we have is because of God's love, not because of anything we have done!
To God be the glory!
