Few of us enjoy going to a dentist. The first words we usually hear are, “Open your mouth wide, please.” Most of us from our previous experiences with dentists would rather keep our mouths shut.

When the Psalms were written there were different ways to show favors to individuals. For example, if a king wanted to extend a favor to a guest he would sometimes say, “Open your mouth wide,” and then fill it with gems or sweets.

Our King said to us in Psalm 81, “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it!” What an unusual statement. Yet, when we think of it, our King’s love is limitless and His might is measureless and His knowledge of our needs is ever on His mind!

Whatanencouragement to pray. When we pray we open our mouths and express our needs and desires to God. If, when we pray, we are earnest and expect God to hear us and if we have been obedient to His teachings and if in our prayers we are asking Him to bless our requests in a way that will honor Him, surely He will respond to our requests.

God is able and anxious to meet our every need. If we have a loved one who has not accepted His grace, or if we have a need for food on our tables, or if we have a spouse or parent or child who is suffering with a disease that some say is incurable – are all gifts He is willing to grant us. We most never forget that God is able and anxious to hear us and help us if we “open our mouths wide in prayer.” Visit us at: SowerMinistries.org
