MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

How many times have we been at our wits end and we thought everyone had failed us and let us down? This week I was listening to comments from other ministers and picked up on some bits and pieces I would like to share.

We have all heard the illustration of the optimist that says the cup is half full. And, we know about the pessimist who say the cup is half empty. Well, here is the best one I've ever heard because it is scriptually based. Are you ready? The child of God says, "My cup runneth over."

Wow, now top that one. Take a look at Psalms 23:4-6

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

This ought to solve any discussion for you as a Christian. Keep this in your heart each day and you will overcome any dart the devil may throw your way. Child of God the battle is not ours. Lord, it's thine! We desire to stay in your favor where there is victory in God's word.

Tidbit: "Everyday that you stay in Christ, you are making progress."

Tidbit: "Lord, what do I lack? No matter what it is the word of God has an answer for it."

Tidbit: "The Bible is not a book of rules but a bag of seeds."

Tidbit: "Wisdom is gained every time one opens the Bible."

When we stay in Christ and God's word we gain wisdom and knowledge to lead and guide us. As we plant our seed in fertile soil it will flourish and multiply. As you continue with God's plan, I believe you will see how much God will bless you and you will sing praises to him as your cup overflows.

I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
