A “through the bible” devotion from Psalm 81.
In Psalm 81, Asaph encourages all sing aloud and shout for joy to the Lord.
Sing aloud to God our strength;
shout for joy to the God of Jacob! (Psalm 81:1)
Now’s not the time to hold back. Let loose with praise for who God is and what he has done for you. He’s brought you out of Egypt, subdued all your foes, and feeds you with the finest.
A great promise follows:
“Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10)
It’s okay to be a church that looks like baby birds in a next with mouths open wide, crying out. Their pleas are heard, and their mother fills them, just as God opens his hand and satisfies the desire of every creature he’s made.
You can complain, gripe, and lash out. You can be discontent, grouchy, and irritable.
Or you can spend your energy on thanks and praise, and not only focus on God’s abundant grace, but receive even more in the process!
Waite for it...
