Exodus 23:31b-33 - I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. You shall make no covenant with them and their gods. They shall not dwell in y;our land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
Joshua 24:14-15 - "Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Remembering what God has done for us is a vital part of maintaining our faith in Him.

Exodus 12:26-27 - And when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?' you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 - And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

While I cannot excuse my sin because of my past, I can live by God's grace in the future.

Isaiah 44:9-17 - All who fashion idols are nothing...The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm...He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself...And the rest of it he makes in a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!"
Joshua 23:15-16 - But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the evil thins, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you, if you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the Lord will kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land that he has given to you."
Judges 17:6 - In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes

Even when we suffer the consequences of our own sin, God disciplines us in His love..
