Open thy mouth

Seems that God and I have been laying low. Perhaps more me than God as God has been waiting on me. He is good at that, waiting. He knows full well that I am not!

This morning I awoke after only 5 hours of sleep at 4:00 a.m. I thought to myself, if I lay here for 15 minutes and I don't fall back to sleep, then God must want me up. Just so you'll know, God won that little battle. :-)

He has given me a cool drink of refreshing water this morning. Waiting makes life so much richer and fuller. Have you come to realize that as well? Perhaps you are like me and seem to be found wanting, hungering, waiting, or perhaps even seeking more of Jesus. Our ladies CBS is working through Priscilla Shirer's, "ONE in a million" study currently. It's causing me to do some soul searching and confirming to me that He wants a deep relationship with me, not shallow. That I would be ONE in a million. This study begins with the Israelites going out into the wilderness. I feel like I may be on a wilderness travel currently myself. Therefore, I'm praying and asking God, what are You showing me? Am I not getting it? Then this morning I read Psalm 81:10 from a friends heart, and I knew that I knew that was a word for me. At 4:36 a.m., I grabbed my NIV and said, thank You Lord. I am blessed!!

Psalm 81:10 NLT "For it was I, the LORD your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things."

Father, thank You for a fresh word. Thank You for being the LORD my God. Thank You for rescuing me from Egypt and the wandering that I found myself participating in. I open my mouth wide this morning Father, knowing YOU will fill it with good things. Father, I pray that if there is one reading my heart today, that they too would be found opening thy mouth. In the precious Son's name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
