Psalm 23:5 (b): You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Thou anoints my head with oil. May we receive a fresh anointing for every day’s duties. Every Christian is a priest, but must go day by day to God the Holy Spirit. A priest without oil misses the chief qualification for his office, and the Christian priest lacks his chief fitness for service when he is devoid of new grace from on high.
My cup runneth over. He had not only enough, but more than enough. A poor man may say this as well as those in higher circumstances. A man may be ever so wealthy, but if he be discontented his cup cannot run over; it is cracked and leaks. 1
Living the Transformed Life
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20
- He is more than enough, when you’re without strength, but His anointing is still upon you.
- He is more than enough, when your cup is empty, but His cup is overflowing.
- He is more than enough, when there are no funds available, but He wants to do abundantly beyond all we can ask or think.
All that I need comes from all that He has.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, that You for always supplying abundantly, above and beyond. Dear Jesus, please teach me to praise You for all that You have done, for my cup has been running over because of Your great provisions.
