Have you ever carried a cup filled to the brim, carefully avoiding a spill? While servers learn to look straight ahead when carrying full cups, our spiritual lives thrive when we're so filled with God's Word that we overflow everywhere we go.
Drawing from the beautiful imagery of Psalm 23:5—"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over"—we discover the tremendous power of being saturated with Scripture. When we're full of God's promises, we naturally leave less room for the enemies of our soul: worry, fear, anxiety, doubt, anger, and sin.
The most revealing moments in our lives come when pressure hits—when life "kicks our bucket." Whatever we've filled ourselves with will inevitably spill out. If you've stored up Scripture, you'll be prepared to declare "no vacancy" to every challenge that knocks at your door. Whether it's anger rising (respond with James 1:19), sickness approaching (counter with 1 Peter 2:24), or worry pulling at you (answer with Philippians 4:6), God's Word provides the perfect response to life's toughest situations. You don't need to master this overnight—start today with small steps, and watch as the Word works wonders in your life. What spiritual filling are you prioritizing today? Subscribe to Mornings with Jesus for your daily dose of encouragement, and start experiencing the power of an overflowing cup.
