I hear a voice I had not known: ‘I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. In distress you called, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Hear, O my people, while I admonish you; O Israel, if you would but listen to me! There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. (Psalm 81: 5-10)

God inspired Moses. Moses inspired his people and confronted those who would oppress his people. Moses spoke to God on behalf of his people and spoke to his people on behalf of God.

At first Moses resisted, but finally he accepted God's invitation. Moses opened his mouth wide. In relationship with God Moses was transformed from a fearful middle-aged shepherd with a stutter into the founder of a great nation.

In this context - linked with an open mouth - the Hebrew verb male certainly means fill. But in other contexts the verb can also mean accomplish, complete, and fulfill.

In Jesus we see the fulfillment of the whole person. Jesus opened his mind and soul to God and was fulfilled.

May I open even one nostril, one ear, one pore to the love of God.
