Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 111:4

The compassion of the Lord as seen in aiding the memories of his people.

Verses 4-5. God's marvels ought not to be nine day wonders.

1. It is God's design that his wonders should be remembered, therefore,

(a) He made them great.

(b) He wrought them for an undeserving people.

(c) He wrought them at memorable times.

(d) He put them on record.

(e) He instituted memorials.

(f) He bade them tell their children.

(g) He so dealt with them as to refresh their memories.

2. It is our wisdom to remember the Lord's wonders. a. To assure us of his compassion: "The Lord is gracious." b. To make us consider his bounty: "he hath given meat." c. To certify us of his faithfulness: "he will ever be mindful of his covenant." d. To arouse our praise: "Praise ye the Lord."
