Psalm 81

"Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
(Psalms 81:8-10)

Our psalm today continues this theme of depending upon the Lord. Here ware reminded of the commandment of God that we should worship HIM ALONE. The Lord reminds the Israelites here that He had brought them out of Egypt and provided for there every need. He gives them a promise: If they open their mouths, He will fill them.

We often scoff at the idea of idolatry. We think, “How crazy is that?!? Why would anyone worship a thing fashioned out of wood or stone”. The truth is, our lives are often filled with idolatry. You see, we may not be bowing down before a man made idol, if we look to anyone or anything else to provide for our needs, then we are guilty of idolatry. The Lord told the Israelites to open their mouths, and HE would fill them!

So, are you opening your mouth to the Lord, or are you looking to be satisfied elsewhere? Remember, only God can TRULY feed your Spirit!!!
