Scripture
…my cup runneth over. Psalm 23:5b
Observation
Jesus said that one of His purposes for coming to earth was that we might experience the fullness of life; He called it the more abundant life. David experienced this kind of life first-hand and writes about it here.
It is not just life, nor is it just a full life, but he is speaking about a life that is overflowing. Overflowing with what? God!
Application
Most people don’t really experience life, much less this overflowing life. It seems to me that Christ doesn’t want to just join us in our pitiful little existence; He wants to come into our life and bring all this abundance with Him.
Isn’t it ironic that we all have been led to believe to really experience all of life you have to follow the ways of the world? We have been taught and preached to that being a Christian is all about doing without. And I suppose to some extent that is true. But it isn’t until we are emptied of the world that God is able to fill us with the things of God.
Prayer
Lord, fill me up please…to the top…and then some.
