Psalms 106:7
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
Our fathers did not grasp the wonders worked for them in Egypt, did not keep in mind the great number of mercies shown them, but stirred Him to anger at the sea, at the Red Sea. Because they did not understand and did not remember, they rebelled, and even being brought out did not keep them from mistrusting Him and provoking Him. Yet though they rebelled, He saved them for His name's sake, making the sea dry, guiding them through it, and delivering them from their foes. When they saw their enemies drowned they trusted His words and sang His praise.
Their rebellion in the face of such wonders and mercies exposes the peril of forgetting what God has done, and presses the need to value His goodness and mercy and love. As part of the wilderness history set down in Psalms 105 and 106, this stands as a warning example that God's people in the last days have special need to study. With Psalm 105 and Psalm 107 it is among the Psalms that all who profess to be children of God are to read.
The account is to be read and studied with care. It should be read no less than once each week. It must be studied so that God's people will not crave evil things and turn to idolatry. It belongs to Psalms 103 through 107 taken up and repeated by a large company ever growing till it becomes a multitude, who pass one by one through a very narrow gate where not even the lightest burden can be carried, while those unwilling to give up their idols are left behind.
