Psalm chapter 81, verse 10,

I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

That is a verse worthy of memorizing today,

hiding in your heart and keeping it there.

This is God saying to his people, now the context here in Psalm 81 is really kind of sobering,

because right before this, the Psalmist is talking about how God's people had rebelled against God

and had turned from God to foreign gods and false gods, looking for satisfaction, looking for

fulfillment, looking for security. And God says to them right before this, here on my people,

why and monitor you, Israel, if you would, but listen to me, God is saying, why are you doing this?

When I am the Lord your God who brought you out of slavery in Egypt,

brought you into the promised land, he's saying, if you will just open your mouth wide,

if you will look to me for satisfaction, look to me for joy, look to me for fulfillment,

look to me for security, look to me for all these things, I will satisfy you more than anything

else in this world, more than everything else in this room put together, I will give you a security

that nothing in this world can take away from you. I will give you a joy that surpasses circumstances,

I will give you an identity that is unshakable for all of eternity.

If you will just look to me, trust in me, open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

And in this way, I want to encourage you to hear Psalm chapter 81 verse 10 spoken to you today,

to all who have trusted in Jesus. You have been restored to relationship with God,

save from your sin, not just saved on the land of Egypt and slavery there, save from your sin
