Commentators explain that God's works are not fleeting events but are intentionally designed to be remembered. Scholars like John Gill point to specific 'memorials' God established, such as the Passover and the Lord's Supper, to ensure His mighty deeds are not forgotten. Albert Barnes adds that our memory finds its highest purpose in recalling what God has done.
