God will fill us - but not how we think - Psalm 81-83

Psalm 81 could easily be my favorite Psalm (if it weren't for a bunch of other Psalms). I love the way the Psalm is developed by Asaph (He actually wrote my favorite Pslam ...91). He let's us know that God is interested in meeting the needs of those who believe in Him. He rescued them from slavery in Egypt and relieved them of their burdens (vs. 6-7). God does that for us. He releases us from our slavery and sets us free. But, God does more than set us free. He also let's us know that He will provide for us. In vs 10 Aspah tells us that if we open our mouths, God will fill it. If we open it "wide" which indicates an act of faith. The faith aspect is the key as God will not fill our mouths with what we think. Asaph tells us at the end of the Psalm that God will sometimes fill us from a rock that will burst fourth with honey. He of course is taking about the rock that Moses smoot that burst forth with water. God can take a solid rock that is a picture of strength and stability and have water gush out. We need to rejoice in that fact. Faith enables us to see God do wonderful things to meet our real needs - the needs He wants to meet. Rejoice in what God will do through faith and don't be bound by looking at a rock as a rock. It just might be a cupboard of honey.
