Do you need to be uplifted

Psalm 40:1,2 - "I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and
heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

There are 7 (count them!), 7 actions in these two versions: two for us
and 5 for the Lord. Having gotten ourselves in difficult situations (such
as a slimy pit full of mud and mire) our actions are to wait patiently
and to prayerfully cry out to the Lord. Look what the Lord then does: He
turns to us, hears our cry, lifts us out of the pit, puts our feet on a
rock and gives us firm ground on which to stand. Is that a great ratio or
what? We do two actions and He does five in return! What a mighty God we
have! Have a blessed week in Him, waiting patiently while crying out to
Him in prayer. He WILL answer with plenty of action! That is His promise!
