Ever find yourself reliving the past? Our phones capture so many great memories -- it's easy to flip through them and re-live favorite times. Not too long ago, I spent some time scrolling through all the pictures of the kids on my phone, starting with their baby pictures and moving to present day. It was a lot of fun.
Here, the Psalmist is reminding himself to do the same thing with God. He actively spends time remembering all of God's wonderful deeds. Remembering this leads him to be glad and exult in God, and then he praises God. It's a cycle -- when we spend time in Scripture, we're reminded of God's love, and this leads us to praise God, which lifts up our whole soul in gratitude.
So be intentional about reading Scripture, because it starts a virtuous cycle where we praise God and end up glad for all that God has done for us.
