Today I celebrated the Cup. Not the "horse race that stops the nation", but rather the "blessing of God that constantly amazes me" as I put my faith in Jesus!
God has made every provision for the believer to live a life that overflows with God’s grace. The Psalmist reflects on this experience in Psalm 23. As I reflected on this today I was reminded that God’s desire is that we be continually under the control of His Spirit and begin to experience "fullness of life" here and now.
My cup runs over because God “is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all" that I could ever ask for or begin to imagine. Every believer who has received the fullness of God, and grace upon grace "according to the power that works within us”, can testify to an overflowing cup. It is result of God's superabundant provison that we receive through the Spirit in Christ Jesus.
The fullness of life Jesus gives causes our cups to run over with the fullness of joy. No Christian is poor while Christ is rich. Because of our intimate relationship with Christ we experience the riches of His glory.
Psalm 23:5 (MSG) ~ "...my cup brims with blessing."
