"What
about you?" Jesus asked. "Who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter
answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Matthew
16:15-16
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
There
is no other name under heaven that can save us (Acts 4:12). We are to confess
Jesus before others, and when we do we are assured that he confesses us before
the Father in heaven. We may not know all the theological import behind those
words -- after all, Peter didn't at the time -- but we can make a commitment to
know him and follow him until we do.
MY PRAYER
Living
God and Holy Father, I believe you sent Jesus as your Son to save me. I confess
to you that I want Jesus to be Lord of my life because I believe him to be your
Son and my Savior. It is through your Son, the Christ promised in Scripture,
that I pray. Amen.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“...Open
your mouth wide, and I will fill it...”
(Psalm
81:10, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD
Do
you have your mouth open wide today? In other words, are you expecting God to
fill you and increase you beyond measure? Are you ready for Him to satisfy your
needs and desires with good things?
Think
about a baby bird. When they are ready to eat, they open their mouths wide.
They trust that they will be fed. They expect it. They look for it. They are
ready for it. It should be the same way with us. We need to keep our spiritual
mouths open by expecting the goodness of God to satisfy us.
Negative
thinking is like closing your mouth. A closed mouth can’t be filled. But Jesus
is saying today, “Why don’t you take the limits off?” Why don’t you trust and
believe for supernatural opportunities? That little bird waiting for food isn’t
concerned about where the mother is going to get it from. It isn’t concerned
about how she’s going to dig it up. No, that bird just opens its mouth,
trusting and waiting. Why don’t you do the same today? Trust that God is
working behind the scenes. Open your mouth wide today. You won’t be
disappointed. God is faithful to His Word, and He will fill you and satisfy you
when you put your trust in Him!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, I come to You today asking You to fill my mouth. I choose to trust You
even when I don’t understand how everything is going to work out. I know that
You are a good God with a good plan for my life. Fill me with Your peace and
patience as I humbly wait on You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
