Do you ever think that we spend too much time thinking about how we need to act and not enough time thinking about how we need to fear God? But do you consider that God created us for Himself and not for our performance for Him? This is God's world and a history of God's performance. After all, God does not need us to add to His stamp on the history of redemption. So we learn from the Psalmist that we would be much more secure and cheerful if we stopped taking the glory in thinking that our history was significant. We are to magnify and praise God for His works.Have you ever considered that most of the celebrating in the Old Testament Church centered around Israel's deliverance from Egypt? If you think about it, God had to do a work that was impossible for humans to accomplish. He had to take hundreds of thousands of people across a dangerous land with no supplies and no way of sustaining their lives. In moving from one place to another, they had no time to farm or attend to the sick. You see, not only did God have to do all the work, but He also had it written down for our learning, so that He would encourage us who live with all our needs being met to depend upon Him.God's teaching focuses on making His people totally dependent on Him, so that they will learn to focus on His works instead of their own. This is why the Psalmist emphasizes our speech, so that we will learn to focus on God's works instead of our own.
