A pair of birds continuously brought food to their new
family in the bluebird box. How did I know there was a nest? Each time one
approached the entrance, the baby birds anxiously awaited food. How do I know
they anxiously awaited? Each baby had its mouth wide open, expecting food.
Notice that God did not say through the psalmist, “Open your
mouth,” but said, “Open wide your mouth?” We have a heavenly Father who
not only supplies physical sustenance; He also wants to fill us spiritually
with His goodness and blessings. But in our
stubbornness, disobedience, and forging our way, we often miss His perfect
plan. Sometimes we settle for less than what He wants to give, and even though the
“less” was good, He had His best designed.
There are hungry people everywhere, longing for “something.”
Some of them are unaware they are starving spiritually; they only know of a
deep yearning within. While on earth, Jesus fed the multitudes physically and
spiritually; He was and still is the only
answer to satisfy every deep longing. It isn’t necessary to be a scholar of
God’s Word to share hope, encouragement, and the love of God—the Good News of
Jesus. If you are willing to tell others what God has done for you, He will
feed their hungry souls through your testimony.
People are hungry; their mouths are open. Are you willing to
help them? Or are you the hungry one with a deep longing? Ask your
heavenly Father to feed you. Tilt your
head back, open your mouth wide, and Jesus will fill you with Himself. He
will satisfy your hunger and the unexplainable yearning within as you feast on
the promises of His Word. Once filled, tell others how the Bread of Life (John
6:35) filled your starving soul.
