What this psalm keeps coming back to is we ourselves, all of us forget and turn to our idols.
We forget how powerful God is.
We forget the work he has done in our lives and the lives of those around us.
We sin.
What we have forgotten is who God is. We have forgotten what a loving, forgiving God he is, whose love endures forever.
A God whose steadfast love is unyielding despite our Egypts, Horebs, Meribahs and despite our wickedness.
We forget that we have a good God whose steadfast love never fails and always endures even when the things we do anger him.
We’re not sinners because we sin. We sin because we’re sinners.
However, God has already given to us the only solution we will ever need to deal with our sin. To punish Himself in our place, once and for all time, in the greatest demonstration of love ever seen. Only God could love us enough to do it. So He did.
Let's not forget.
Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?
