Again and again Moses tells Israel to remember the LORD their God: that they were slaves in Egypt and the LORD brought them out, and that it is He who gives the power to make wealth. When the Bible speaks of people remembering God, it means keeping His character, His commands and His faithfulness at the forefront of the mind so that it leads to obedience and trust. It was a warning not to become self-reliant or to forget Him in times of comfort and wealth. Biblical remembering is not passive nostalgia; it is a posture of faith that counters anxiety, complaining and wandering, and it puts our love in order.
The Law could not give life by our keeping of it. Leviticus says the one who does the statutes shall live by them, but Paul shows that all who rely on the works of the Law are under a curse, because the righteous shall live by faith, and Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. So we remember the God who brought His people out of the house of slavery before He ever gave the commandment, You shall have no other gods before Me. Israel was shown His power so that they might know that the LORD is God and there is no other, and they were to lay that to heart.
Remembering is then lived out at home and in the heart. The LORD our God is one; love Him with all your heart, soul and might, and teach His words diligently to your children as you sit, walk, lie down and rise. Do not love the world or the things in the world, for the world is passing away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever. The law of His mouth is better than thousands of gold and silver pieces, while the love of money has led some away from the faith. So keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for He has said, I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.
