Another case, in the reading today, of looking to the future recalling the victories of the past. Psalm 105 references many points of victory. Is repetition to be discouraged? Obviously not if this literary form is in the Bible. If we are struggling moving into the future, why not give thanks for how the Lord has brought us through the past. Repeating the victories moves us into the future. Especially, when facing adversity. Here is the first verse that unlocks the chapter...
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.
Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced"
