God doesn't perform miracles as rewards for good behavior. He does them for His own purposes. Israel was nothing special in the world. We did nothing to deserve God's favor. He rescued us from Egypt, made us a people, defeated our enemies, and gave us a country, yet we were stiff-necked, rebellious idolaters.

And we haven't changed much since then. Whether we call our own creations "gods" or "science", we worship them as if the glory of dead metal and plastic could possibly exceed that of the One who created it all.
