“I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:10 (NIV)
The heading of our verse informs us that this Psalm was written by Asaph, one of the primary song writers in the time of King David.
It is instructed to be played with a gittith, a simple harp with just a few strings. They were very common in that time. They could be elaborate or very simple - similar to our guitars. God is challenging His people to remember what He has done and to trust Him for their provision. It is a challenge to us who are His people today, too, with a wonderful promise. When God says open wide your mouth He is encouraging us to expect great things from Him. And when He says He will fill our open mouths, He is promising to fulfill a promise He has made. What He means is that the more we expect, the more we will receive. God does respond to our faith. He is an infinite God – unlimited in His power to help. Let us not limit God’s working in our lives. Take advantage of the challenge and today let's open our mouths with expectations of receiving great things from Him.
