The eagle&#8217;s care for her young is a beautiful emblem of Christ&#8217;s love, who came between Divine justice and our guilty souls, and bare our sins in his own body on the tree. And by the preached gospel, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, He stirs up and prevails upon sinners to leave Satan&#8217;s bondage. In ver. 13,14, are emblems of the conquest believers have over their spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, in and through Christ. Also of their safety and triumph in him; of their happy frames of soul, when they are above the world, and the things of it. This will be the blessed case of spiritual Israel in every sense in the latter day. (Henry)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations,&#8230;. That went before the times of Christ, and the Jews&#8217; rejection of him, and observe the instances of divine goodness to them; as in the time of the Maccabees, whom God raised up as deliverers of them, when oppressed by the Syrians and others; and in the time of the Babylonish captivity, how they were delivered out of it; in the times of David and Solomon, when they enjoyed great prosperity; and in the times of the judges, by whom they were often saved out of the hands of their enemies; and in the times of Moses and Joshua, how they were led, by the one out of Egypt and through the wilderness, and by the other into the land of Canaan; and thus might they be led on higher, to the provision and reservation of the good land for them in the times of Noah and his sons, which they are referred to in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/biblehub.com\/deuteronomy\/32-8.htm\"><span class=\"s2\">Deuteronomy 32:8<\/span><\/a>, and in all these times, days, years, and generations, they might consider what notices were given of the Messiah, the rock of salvation, rejected by them; not only by the prophets since the captivity of Babylon and in it; but before it by Isaiah and others, and before them by David, and Solomon his son, by Moses and by all the prophets, from the beginning of the world;\u00a0 (Gil)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>\u201cRemember\u201d &#8211; have in or be able to bring to one&#8217;s mind an awareness of (someone or something that one has seen, known, or experienced in the past<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Recall, call to mind, recollect, think back to, commit to memory, retain, bear in mind, not lose sight of the fact, not forget, take into consideration<\/b>\u2026..<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It is easy to forget. We do it all the time. Keys, phones, receipts, notes, tools, dates, addresses, phone numbers, tasks, etc\u2026. We even forget to think about God, God\u2019s Word, Things of God, His creation, His power, might, strength, His control over all of creation, His presence, His Holiness, love, grace, and mercy, His promises, His purpose, His gift of the Holy Spirit, His working for the good of His people, His discipline, His forgiveness, and definitely we forget about our sinfulness and desire to sin and the need for repentance.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In many disciplines, Medical, Engineering, Teaching, Computer Technology, Chemistry, Physics, etc\u2026. it is required to have continual education. Why? For two reasons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>So you won\u2019t forget, and so you will learn new. The best way to not forget is to continue to use what you have learned. The only way to learn NEW is to study and then apply it. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Neglect of God\u2019s Word will result in Forgetting what you once knew, cherished, and applied. Complacency will result in the lack of learning something new from God.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The busyness of life will try to rob you of your memories of God. It will surely rob you of learning more about God\u2019s holiness and your sinfulness. It is an intentional choice to Study God\u2019s Word and apply it. Nothing in life will compare to the peace, joy, happiness, and hope that is found in it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Deu 32:7-14\u00a0\u00a0Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.\u00a0When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/2024\/10\/03\/53-d-wilderness-17-j-6\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;53.d.
