THE RELATIONSHIP

Psalm 81:1-10

Rejoice in your worship. (1-5a)
Worship is imperative.
You’ll praise God more when you recognize your reasons to praise.

Remember God your Redeemer. (5b-7)
Because of the covenant:

He is YOUR God, and you are HIS child.

Whatever happens to you is as if it is happening to God. He knows. He cares.

Respond with a big mouth. (8-10)
“Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.”
Like a baby bird, we look to God with dependent expectation.

The only thing restricting the amount of God’s goodness and provision I receive is the size of my mouth.

GROUP / FAMILY DISCUSSION
Have you ever seen a baby bird being fed? What part does it play in the process?

Have you ever been desperate for God to provide? Please share.

How does knowing that you are God’s and He is yours change your outlook on your needs?

Read Matt 6:25-34 and Phil 4:19. What do these passages say about God’s provision for us? How can we have more confidence in these verses in light of our understanding of the covenant?

In what ways have you viewed God’s provision in your life more like Uber Eats than a baby bird?

What are some things that you need to open your mouth for this week?

What will you practically do this week to “open wide(r) your mouth?”

How can we pray for you?

Pray together.
