“Open Wide Your Mouth, and I Will Fill It”

"I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.”
— Psalm 81:10–11

There’s a quiet ache in these verses. A Father’s voice offering nourishment, intimacy, and help — yet met with silence, stubborn hearts, and closed mouths.

The invitation is tender, not forceful. “Open wide your mouth…” As if to say, Come to Me empty, and I will satisfy you completely. This is not about material abundance. It’s about holy filling. Not about temporary relief, but eternal presence.

I sit with these words, and I no longer see food or provision in the usual sense. I see the Spirit — the Breath of God that sustains beyond bread.

His Spirit who fills the longing soul with wisdom when confusion reigns. Who gently interprets what no human mind can unravel. Who takes the most hopeless situations and speaks life into them — softly, deeply, powerfully.

And yet, “they would have none of me.”

That line pierces. Not because it’s unfamiliar, but because it often reflects our own posture — distracted, guarded, trying to manage life without full surrender.

But when we let the Holy Spirit take over — when we step aside, listen, yield — something miraculous happens. Mountains move. The impossible bends. Grace becomes not just a concept, but a current that carries us through.

God is still speaking this invitation:
“Open your life to Me. Let Me fill you with what only I can give.”

 The greatest gift is not what God does for us, but who God is in us.

Today, I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want to be too full of my own noise to hear His whisper. I want to live with my mouth open wide — not in hunger for things, but in expectation for Him.

And when He fills… it is always enough. More than enough.
