The Logic of Faith

Commentators like Albert Barnes and Charles Spurgeon highlight the verse's powerful logic: "Because you have been my help, therefore I will rejoice." This teaches that remembering God's past faithfulness is not just a sentimental exercise; it is the rational foundation for our present trust and future joy. Our confidence in God for tomorrow is built upon the evidence of His help in our yesterdays.
