All the Things God has done that need Praising

Isaiah 63:7
 I'll make a list of GOD's gracious dealings,
all the things GOD has done that need praising,
All the generous bounties of GOD,
his great goodness to the family of Israel--
Compassion lavished,
love extravagant.

Surely it is right and appropriate to remember what God had done in the life of Israel as compassion lavished, love extravagant. Indeed it is the same for our own lives as we see God lavish compassion again and again, not because we deserve it—all of our righteousness is, after all, dirty rags—but because it his his good pleasure to do so.

This is why it is good to make a list of God's gracious dealings.  It keeps us focused on him; and keeps us humble.
