He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. — Psalm 18:16

He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters. You didn't climb out of the pit on your own—God reached down while you were dead in trespasses and sins. He brought you up and set your feet upon a rock. Salvation from first to last is His rescue mission, not your self-improvement project.
