Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; — Very great wonders were wrought there when God’s time came to set his people free from their cruel bondage.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. God has dealt kindly and graciously with us, yet here is an all too true description of what we have done: “We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Three time is the confession of sin here made. It is a good beginning when we can begin with confessing sin.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They saw them; they were surprised by them; but they could not make them out, could not tell what God was at when he smote the Egyptians. A want of understanding of divine truth is a very fatal want. Psa_106:7. They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; What we do not understand we soon...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, — Oh, is not that a grand word? Well might Jehovah say, “Not for your sakes do I this, O house of Israel.” He saved them for his own sake, Psa_106:8. That he might make his mighty power to be known. Free grace finds in itself, not in us, its own motive, and discovers its own reason for acting on our...

Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. He saved them, not for their own sakes, but for his name’s sake, for the manifestation of his own power and glory. This is how God still deals with his children; not on the ground of their merits, but for the manifestation of his own mercy and grace...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. They soon...

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. So it always is with us when we begin to let our desires outrun the will of God. He will sometimes let us discover our own folly by granting us our...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
