Open Up!

“…Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things” (Psalm 81:10).

Greetings,

I love being my little granddaughter’s caregiver, and it has been such a joy watching her grow up.  She has already learned to identify her bottle, and when she’s hungry, get out of the way.  Ms. Ellie likes to lunge forward and clamp down on it with a death grip.  The funny thing is that as soon as she even hears me start preparing it, her mouth opens – wide!  That’s how I know she’s eager for the slushy goodness inside.

God will also give us good things – things that nourish our mind, body, and soul.  But we must desire it.  We must do our part.  We must open our mouths, big and wide.  We must praise and pray and worship.  We must pour out our hearts to the One Who is willing to fill us.  That’s how God knows we are eager for the good things we need; among them, peace, provision, guidance, hope, and protection.    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You have asked us in Your Word to open our mouths wide, so we do – right now.  We bless Your holy name.  You are worthy of praise.  Time after time You have helped us and guided us.  You have protected us and given us hope.  We love You, and we love that You are always so willing to fill us, generously and abundantly, with Your goodness.  We receive it. Hallelujah! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
