Remembering God's Power
Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry emphasize that the psalmist recounts the plagues of flies and frogs to highlight a tragic failure. Despite God demonstrating immense power to deliver them from their enemies, Israel forgot these acts. This serves as a powerful reminder for believers to intentionally remember God's past faithfulness as a foundation for future trust.
