Open Wide Your Mouth




I am the LORD your God... Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. Psalm 81:10

Thots and images of others funny pics, Botox and characters like…Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler 

This is what God wants of us, total dependence - of God to fly down to meet our needs with our mouths open wide so that He can fill them. This is a promise for God that says “I will fill it”  Too often we don't trust Him and our jaws are clinched, and we will not open our mouths because we don't believe that God will put anything good in our mouths if we were to open them, and we won't trust Him.  Or afraid when we open it something else hidden will spill out.  Or we are already too full.  God wants to fill, fill to overflowing with what truly satisfies of all our hunger and thirsts! 
 
This requires a big wide load of trust.  Sometimes I’ve tried swallowing a few things people have shoved down my throat and nearly choked to death.  Lord…Help me trust all of You and Your Word

What a great picture and statement for a musician or person in leadership to imagine and hear.  To open his mouth open wide… for filling but then to proclaim loud, truth, hope, joy, and praise.  Not just your mouth open wide but our arms wide open, pocket books, hearts, thoughts, and lives!
 
May we open wide…

Open wide with a cry
Open wide with a prayer
Open wide with a song of praise
Open wide and wait
Open wide and empty out
Open wide to get the most
Open wide to get the best breath
Open wide to receive His fresh infilling power
Be careful not to open your mouth to the wrong things

 

 “…open your mouth and eat what I give you.” Ezekiel 2:8
 
How about the picture of a little baby bird with its mouth wide open, and the mother bird putting food into it. Baby birds are totally desperate and dependent upon the mother to feed them. Without it they will not survive.  They are crying out and waiting and expecting.
