I Am the LORD, your God, the One who brought you out of the land of distress, Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. Psalms 81:10
In 1447 BC, God miraculously delivered the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. He called them “His children” and then told them to trust Him completely, only. He told them to look to Him and He would fill their mouth. He knew what each person needed.
This verse reminds me of baby birds waiting in the nest with mouths wide open… looking for mom and dad to bring food. Birds work tirelessly feeding their babies every 10-20 minutes, 12-14 hours a day! That’s a lot of attention.
If bird-parents, created by God, are that dedicated to providing for their kids… how much more does God care for me? Anything needed throughout the day: provision, direction, wisdom, protection, training, endurance, peace, words of encouragement, a thankful attitude…
When God gave me salvation at 11, forever delivering me from sin and death, so much more came in the package: adoption, inheritance and the power of His Holy Spirit! He gave me the right to open wide my mouth to Him for every possible need. “Yes, child, I will fill it.”
