Thanks for Everything

Waiting on God's _________________ is ACTIVE  not PASSIVE.

Psalm 40:1-3
1 I waited patiently for the LORD to help me,
   and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
   out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
   and steadied me as I walked along.
3 He has given me a new song to sing,
   a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
   They will put their trust in the LORD.

Proverbs 25:20
Singing cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart
   is like taking someone’s coat in cold weather
   or pouring vinegar in a wound.

Psalm 40:4-5
4 Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD,
   who have no confidence in the proud
   or in those who worship idols.
5 O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
   Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
   You have no equal.
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
   I would never come to the end of them.

Trusting God's _______________ is EXPRESSIVE not EXHAUSTIVE.

Psalm 40:16-17
16 But may all who search for you
   be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
   repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”
17 As for me, since I am poor and needy,
   let the LORD keep me in his thoughts.
You are my helper and my savior.
   O my God, do not delay.
