「I am the Lord your God,

　Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;

　Open your mouth wide,

　and I will fill it.」　Amen.

　God and the Israelites made a covenant. If the people observed the terms of the covenant, blessings were given; if they did not, hardship came.

The covenant was to be fulfilled no matter how much the people complied with the covenant. No matter how much the people did not comply with the covenant, the covenant was not broken. That is because of the love of God, who is patient. The God who brought them out of Egypt says, "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.  All we have to do is open our mouths wide. God is the one who fills us.

　May we trust Him fully today as well.　

God bless you.   See you next week.
