God Remembers His Gifts
Commentators note that God begins His message of judgment by reminding Jeroboam of His grace. He was exalted from a common man to a king entirely by God's power. This serves as a powerful reminder that God keeps an account of His mercies, and our accountability is measured against the blessings and opportunities He has given us.
