Deu 32:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : By choosing idols, Israel forgot about Jehovah, their true God. The Bible describes this as being "unmindful of the Rock that begat thee" ( v. 18 ). Forgetting God leads to sin, because people start to serve themselves instead. There is nothing worse than forgetting the One who created us and gives us life (Isaiah 17:10-11 ). This forgetfulness brings sorrow in the end, as nothing good comes from turning away from God.
