Psalms 81:10
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open
thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
This verse
was used in a lesson Sunday. Although I
have read Psalms many times, I don’t remember noticing this verse before. It really caught my attention this time tho.
I love this
imagery. A baby bird, when it hears or
sees it parent will throw back his head, open his mouth, and eagerly wait to be
fed…trusting that the parent bird will deliver.
Isn’t that how God wants us to be…trusting Him and eagerly awaiting Him
to fill us. This is so true on both
physical and spiritual levels.
Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do
they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye
not much better than they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And
yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one
of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day
is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe
you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall
we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
I hope to
carry that picture in my mind and remember to be like the baby bird, throwing
open my mouth (and heart) and allowing God to fill me with His goodness and
blessings!
