OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE

I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill

it. Psalm 81:10

The movie "Blank Check" tells the story of a young boy who finds a blank cheque complete with the signature! His imagination begins to run wild. He thinks about cashing the cheque for $1,000 then $10,000.

He finally decides to make the cheque out for $1 million. The boy takes the cheque to the bank to have it cashed.

Now we all know that in order to cash a cheque, the money has to be in the account.Amazingly, the cheque is good and he leaves the bank with $1 million cash!

God's promises are like the blank cheque that the little boy found. As we read the Bible, we find many promises that the Lord has left for us to claim.

Through those promises, we are able to draw on the limitless supply of God's account in heaven.

From Genesis to Revelation, there are blank cheques to cover our health, peace, marriage, children, labour or any other area of our lives.

Some find their 'blank cheque' as they study God's Word for their daily devotion; others find their cheque as they listen to the preaching of the word or as they read an inspired Christian book.

Each of those promises are made up of simple words but behind those simple words are the power that created the entire universe.

Like the young boy, you can decide how much you want to claim from the promises of God. You receive according to the level of your faith and trust in the Lord.

Will you limit God's power, or believe Him without reservation? The cheque is in your hands; write the amount you want.

Prayer: Lord, I believe in Your promises and claim them in the name of Jesus.
