National Amnesia?

In Turn, Lucado references Deuteronomy 8:11-14, 19, which I have copied below from Biblegateway...I think he is right on point with respect to comparing America with Israel from biblical times. Israel tended to forget how, why and where they got the many blessings they had received...they became proud and complacent...even arrogant. America seems to be suffering from that same problem...see for yourself:

^"11 Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. ¹² Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, ¹³ and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, ¹⁴ then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery...¹⁹ If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed."
