First, It's against many charges that God gives beforehand to forwarn us of it. If you read the 6th of Deuteronomy, 111. Vers. and the 8. Chap. 12. Vers. you shall find there how the Lord charges this people; When you come into the Land, and your houses are full of good things, and you eat of the good of the Land, beware you forget not the Lord; beware, and forget not; beware, and forget not, again and again this is inculcated, showing how prone we are to forget the Lord in our fullness. Oh! that those of you that providence hath brought this morning, would consider of these Scriptures, now God is beginning to come in with more fullness than before, Oh beware that you forget not the Lord God in the midst of your fullness, Oh! let there be as much, or more prayer in your family than there was in former times, that you may have a sanctified use of the fullness that now you enjoy; yea, it's worse than beastly, The Ox knows his Owner, and the Ass his Masters crib, but Israel hath forgotten me. If the Ox be but fed, he knows his Owner: Who is it that feeds you? is it not the Lord? and will you forget him? Oh! this will lose the blessing of all you do enjoy, and your hearts will grow very wicked beyond what you can imagine, you cannot imagine the evil that your hearts will grow to, if you forget God in the enjoyment of that estate that God sets you in.
