Psalms 78:43
Compare all
41 Yes, aagain and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel. 
42 They did not remember His1 power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy, 
43 When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
44 aTurned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink. 
45 aHe sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And bfrogs, which destroyed them. 
46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the alocust. 
47 aHe destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost. 
48 He also gave up their acattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery1 lightning. 
49 He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
50 He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave1 their life over to the plague, 
51 And destroyed all the afirstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham. 
52 But He amade His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock; 
53 And He aled them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea boverwhelmed their enemies.

Psalm 78:40-57

It is entirely possible that one of the reasons that Israel had the difficulty that they had was because they were bystanders, looking on at what was going on in the lives of those hapless Egyptians that God—whose power He was breaking and the pride that He was destroying—was doing. They did not have to do very much at that time but stand aside and watch God work.

In what we are involved, we find that God is putting us through drills, if I can put it that way, and that we have to go over things very frequently. We can also add to this that mankind is "thick" where God is concerned. Does not Romans 8:7 say that "the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be"?

There is a natural resistance to the things of God and that is largely because we are so self-centered. Our world usually consists of that which is going on around us and so that is what our mind is focused on. Those are the kind of things that we remember and most of those things are what we are caught up in the everyday rush of events. And so events like the Holy Days, and their traditions and practices must be commanded by God to be repeated over and over for many years so they will motivate us to good and positive things in relation to Him.
