“I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10)
Tonight this verse is encouraging. We just received the news that our niece’s three-day old son, Matthew, has a heart murmur. He is to be seen by a pediatric cardiologist at 2:00 P.M. tomorrow. His family is to take him. It is not planned that he is not going by ambulance. Therefore, his life must not be in great jeopardy, as he is entrusted to the care of his parents instead of trained medical personnel.
Please open your mouth wide with prayer so God’s Holy Spirit can fill it with the petitions needed in Matthew’s life and/or the answers to those petitions. As Christians we can figuratively look at Egypt as being any burden, enslavement, sin, or even slight care.
God did not withhold his own son from us. Therefore, we can believe he will freely give us all things, according to Romans 8:31-32. All of Romans 8 is encouraging to us as believers in Jesus Christ. Even the sufferings of this present time are nothing when compared to the glory which will be revealed in us, according to verse 18.
Father, thank you for your wonderful gift of Matthew to my niece, her husband, and the whole world. Thank you for what You will do in his life, as You work this problem of the heart murmur for good in his life. Thank you for the wonderful gift of our Savior, in whose name we ask that your will be done in Matthew’s life and that he be healed completely. Amen.
