Psalm 6:4 "Return, O LORD, and rescue me, Save me because of your unfailing love."
There is noting fun about being caught out on a lake in a canoe with no oars. You are completely at the mercy of the weather and the water. You could sit there alone for hours or even days until a search and rescue team come to find you. There is nothing you can do to rescue yourself. It must happen because others are merciful and willing to come and find you. How much that is like our LORD. It is only because of his great mercy and unfailing love that we are rescued from our own folly. We can do nothing to rescue ourselves from our own waywardness and sin. We are truly at His mercy and unfailing love.
