“My cup runneth over” Psalm 23:5
The Holy Spirit spoke to me last night about a chalice related to this verse in Psalm 23.
“My cup runneth over” is about the abundance Jesus gives to His people.
The chalice is a large goblet typically used for drinking wine. There are Christian traditions that the chalice was the vessel Jesus used at the Last Supper to share his blood.
Jesus is generous and desires to give a believer more than he asks or thinks.
The walk with Jesus has different seasons. Your cup may be overflowing or almost empty. The love, peace and joy of Jesus is always abundant in your cup.
The Bible teaches that hope deferred makes the heart sick but the longing is fulfilled from the tree of life. We have to live in divine hope and unshakable faith until the tree of life fills our cup.
God controls your cup. He tests believers by engineering troubles and adversity. This is to strengthen your faith and teach a believer to wait upon God.
Many believers utilize worldly actions to fill their cup but the results will be short term and create anxiety and unrest. In addition, the believer will have to face the judgements of God.
As Christ followers we walk by faith trusting in the promises of Jesus and not what we see with our eyes.
Jesus promises to deliver a believer in His perfect timing.
