                                                         MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

Larry Fletcher                                                                                                                 March 2019

Psalm 23:5 (Amplified Bible) My brimming cup runs over.

Overflow defined means to flow or spread across; to flow over the brim or edge of; to fill beyond capacity; to run over; super abundant.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they might have life and life more abundantly. Abundance defined (to the full of, till it overflows) Abundance means simply (more than enough)

I borrowed these words that I may better emphasize my thought.

                                                         DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER

I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now, but I don’t worry about that much, cause I’m happy anyhow. As I go along life’s journey, I’m reaping better than I sowed. I’m drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches and sometimes the going gets tough. But I’ve got a God that loves me, so I think I’m rich enough. I just thank God for the blessings that His mercy has bestowed. I’m drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed.

If He gives me strength and courage when the way grows steep and rough, I won’t ask for other blessings, I’m already blessed enough. May I never be too busy to help another bear his load; then I’ll be drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed.

 

There should be an overflowing! God is not stingy, nor is He short on resources. There is an abundance for you and anyone else. God out of His love will freely give us all things. I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly! The scripture also declares…Unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Why be content with just being full…. Pray that you will be filled to overflowing ,because that is when you influence and minister to others.
