In Psalm 86 it is interesting to compare what God does with what David and by extension we do in the relationship.
It is a bit uneven. Think about this. We are coming to the creator of the universe and He does more for us than we do for Him. We do very little to gain His favor. Essentially all we do is ask. The rest is His lavish outpouring of Grace.
This is a really good ROI.
| What God Does | What We Do |
| Inclines His ear | Cry to God |
| Answers | Storage |
| Preserves our Soul | Lift up my soul |
| Is gracious to us | Call upon God |
| Forgives | Walk in truth |
| Abundant in Lovingkindness toward us | Give thanks |
| Teaches us the way | Glorify His name |
| Unites our heart to Him | |
| Grants us strength | |
| Saves us | |
| Helps us | |
| Comforts us |
