Deuteronomy 7:17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

The book of Deuteronomy is a remembering book. Moses here is telling Israel to remember how God had provided for them before, and to learn from those experiences. Remeber what God did for you before. God has not changed. Often we have things in our lives that happen, and we whine and complain about them, but who has changed? It is not God. There are countless masses of men and women in this world that will not realize that they have rebelled against God, or someone He has given authority, one too many times, and that He will not accept them any more for what He once would have allowed them to do. These people are often sad, and miserable in their lives, not even realizing that they have a problem. They will not, however, turn from their ways, give up "their" ambitions, and realize that they can no longer be what they want to be. If only they would let God work in their hearts. He might allow them to actually do something for Him (though not the original work), but so many will go on their own way, and be a curse rather than a blessing, always trying to shipwreck someone else's life. How sad to be out of God's will!!!
