- There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. Psalms 81:9-10 – God is reminding His people that He alone is more than enough to supply all their needs. They don’t need to be searching elsewhere to find their fill, God can easily supply that if they only would listen and walk in His ways. This is a message straight to His people today as well. We never have to be searching elsewhere in life for a meeting of our needs. We can open wide our need to God and no matter how deep or wide our need is God can fill it. All that is asked of us is to listen to His Word and walk in His ways. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1144
- Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. Psalm 81:8-12 – Today is the last day of our High School Camp. This passage hits home with our conversation after worship together last night as a group. We spoke on how deeply important it is to be intentional with our pursuit of God after camp. Here we have scheduled time with God multiple times a day. At home, we’re in charge of making that time. God is speaking to you, God is reminding you of how He has been your God all along. He is commanding us to set aside anything else that may be taking the “god role” in our story. He finally is inviting us close to be filled by Him. Today, pray for these students to remain open to God’s filling back at home. Pray this for yourself as well. God is searching for time with you, will you give Him that today? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2041
