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.

Oh, what a great verse.

And yet what a sad verse when you look at it in its context,

because what God is saying here in Psalm 81

is that his people in the Old Testament who he was ready to satisfy with everything they needed were turning aside to false gods and idols and bowing down to them looking for satisfaction from idols who cannot

satisfy and how often are we prone to do the same thing, to look to people, things,

pursuits in this world, over and above, pursuit of God as the only one who can satisfy

our souls, who can satisfy our

deepest needs and God is saying here in his word

I am the Lord your God I will satisfy you open your mouth wide and I will fill it. This is why we come

before God every day and night we seek him because he is the only one who can satisfy our needs.

I think about my time or your time with the Lord in the morning. This is what we do. We're just

opening our mouths wide. God, from the beginning of our day, we are seeking you. We are worshiping you. We're trusting in you and

we're praying for your help with everything that comes to our lives today.

Please lead us, guide us, direct us, we've got our mouths open.

When we open his word, we're saying teach us, instruct us, help us to know you more, help us to grow in righteousness.

Our mouths are wide open.

I guess that's the question then.

Is this your posture toward God?
