Expect Great Things From God
By: Robert A. Searles

"I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide and I will fill it." Psalm 81: 10

God has delivered us ,and set us free from the bondage of Satan ,and the market place of sin and slavery. He has promised to care for us and supply all our needs. 

Coming out of Egypt is a picture of being delivered out of a lost condition ,and becoming saved. God went to great expense to save us and bring us out of bondage to Satan. He gave his only begotten son , and spilled divine blood. That which he purchased at great expense will be kept, polished and nurtured , and preserved. Having been purchased with so great a sacrifice, think it not otherwise, but that the Lord will keep, polish, nurture and preserve us, his redeemed children unto himself forever. Therefore, we ought to look for, and expect great things from God.

The wide open mouth of a young bird is in great expectation of it being filled by the mother bird. It pleases God greatly when we look to him for all our needs and expect without shadow of doubt that he will fill our mouths with good things.
