Devotion - Psalm 107

In Psalm 107 there is a verse that repeats itself several times. It appears first in verse 8...
"Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
This verse appears identically 3 more times in this chapter; verses 15,21, and 31. If God put this verse 4 times in one chapter, I think it is an important verse. If we would praise the Lord continually for what He has done for us, maybe we will not be so quick to forget as the Children of Israel did in the wilderness and as we so often do.
My Pastor mentioned not too long ago that we spend weeks (or longer) praying for something then when our prayer is answered we thank God once and move on. Wouldn't it be great if we spend more time praising God afterward than the time we spent begging God.
