MY CUP RUNS OVER
God’s blessings are always available in abundance. When the “LORD is my shepherd,” “my cup runs over” is a natural result. Blessings overflow from God, who blesses lavishly! We do not have to wait until we get to heaven to experience God’s banquet house. His overflowing grace is something we experience as Christians in this life. Jesus said, “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” (John 10:10b). That is a cup running over with God’s grace. He does not just give us the gift of eternal life when we first believed, but He keeps on giving eternal life. Eugene Peterson, in the Message, translates that verse as "real and eternal life...more and better life than they ever dreamed of!" The life He gives us is abundant, in surplus, overflowing! Jesus gives us Himself (John 14:6). He is this abundant life. It is God’s kind of life. “My cup overflows,” means it is not just full; it is “running over,’ filled to the brim and overflowing. God’s saving and sustaining grace is always like that. His grace is always in fullness, abundance and all-sufficiency. Today, recognize the abundance of God's blessing. He is available to you even now as you cry out to Him by faith
