Psalm 106, Faith without seeing!

Psa 106:2, Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare ALL HIS PRAISE? 

The simple answer is no one! It is impossible to declare all HIS praises; for we see only the edges of HIS glory ( Job 26:14 )

Psa 139:6, Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. 

Psa 106:7, Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, BUT REBELLED BY THE SEA—THE RED SEA. 

All of Israel saw the plagues that hit Egypt and how GOD protected them! A total of ten plagues, YET rebelled against the LORD!

Ex 14:11, Then they said to Moses, … HAVE YOU TAKEN US AWAY TO DIE IN THE WILDERNESS?…

Psa 106:8-9, NEVERTHELESS HE SAVED THEM FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE, That He might make His mighty power known. HE REBUKED THE RED SEA ALSO, AND IT DRIED UP; SO HE LED THEM THROUGH THE DEPTHS, AS THROUGH THE WILDERNESS.

YET GOD saved them even in their rebellion and showed them HIS great power and mercy!

Psa 106:12, THEN THEY BELIEVED HIS WORDS; They sang His praise.

Seeing is believing, but faith is believing without seeing! Like Thomas, Israel had to see before they could believe!

Joh 20:29, Jesus said to him, “Thomas, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU HAVE BELIEVED. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.”

Psa 106:13-14, THEY SOON FORGOT HIS WORKS; They did not wait for His counsel, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And TESTED GOD IN THE DESERT.

So many people praise GOD when they see HIS miracles, HIS provisions, HIS work! YET, at the sign of any trial THEY FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THEIR LIVES! WE ARE FICKLED PEOPLE WHO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION!

2Ti 2:13, If we are faithless, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL; He cannot deny Himself. 

Do you believe only when you see, Thomas? Remember while we are faithless, HE remains faithful!

1Th 5:24, HE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL, WHO ALSO WILL DO IT.
