INSIGHT ON THE WORD # 8

“My Cup Running Over”
Psalm 23:6

When the “Lord is our shepherd,” our cup runs over in super-abundance, for God’s blessings are always in super abundance. We never have to wait until we get to heaven to experience God’s banquet. His overflowing grace is something that we experience daily as Christians.

Jesus said in John 10:10b that “I came that you might have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus just keeps on giving eternal life, that is, a cup running over with God’s grace. The Lord knows how to overflow our cups. Our cups are not just filled to the brim, but overflowing. There is a surplus and an over abundance. God’s saving and sustaining grace is always like that. God’s grace is always in fullness, abundance, and all-sufficiency. Jesus is the source of a spring of living water that is always bubbling up, unfailing, and ever fresh. He is living water that is not stagnant, but always full of action, gushing up with energy. God has made every provision for the believer to live a life that overflows with God’s grace. My cup runs over because He “is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.” It is the super abundance of life that we receive though the Spirit in Christ Jesus. This is the fullness of life Jesus gives, and it causes our cups to run over with the fullness of joy.

No Christian is poor while Christ is rich. One of the great principles of the Christian life is, the more you receive, the more you want of Him. All you have to do is come and drink. Our cup overflows by drinking a life that changes us “from glory to glory.” Another principle is, the more that you give away, the more you get. There is no more effective way of serving Christ than when your cup is running over. When you serve Him from the overflow, you have a ministry that will impact eternity.

Daily we should pray, “Lord, clean and fill me until I run out all over the place with the fullness of your grace.”
