Faith Becomes Sight
The psalmist declares, "As we have heard, so have we seen." Commentators explain this as a powerful statement of experiential faith. The stories of God's past deliverances and the promises in His word are not just ancient history; they are truths witnessed firsthand in the present. This confirms that God's character and power are consistent across generations, turning what was heard by faith into what is seen by experience.
