Open Up....

Psalm 81:10 NIV
I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

For every promise that God makes, there are conditions to be met for the promises to be activated. Nothing moves God more than doing your own bit as requested. Today's extract declares the power of the One making the promise as well as establishing the ability of that same person to fulfil everything he says.

God's Word is filled with incredible promises. We don't get them, not because God cannot do them, but because our lives can't process them. We are asked to obey God so that we can enjoy peace and prosperity but we ask for the prosperity without any interest in obedience. We want the pleasures without the sacrifice.

God is seeking to show himself strong in our lives but we must let him work as we obey Him in everything, not just the convenient times. He is all-powerful, but we are the ones who will determine how far he can go with our lives. He says: open wide your mouths, and I will fill it. Ours is to open up, his part is to fill it up. Do your bit; dare God to do his bit. He's faithful. His time of favour is here
