My Cup Runneth Over

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
Psalm 23:5

The Comparison

David names cup runneth over here, worth examining directly, this described abundance genuinely exceeding mere sufficiency, worth holding as this movement’s own picture of what genuine fullness, not comparative accumulation, actually looks like, overflow rather than merely adequate provision.

Notice in the presence of mine enemies, worth holding as this verse’s own striking context, this genuine abundance experienced not in comfortable, easy circumstances alone, but even amid genuine, actual difficulty, worth examining whether your own overflow requires this same, difficult context to actually be trusted.

This is worth applying against however much you have assumed genuine overflow requires first resolving all difficulty, rather than this psalm’s own model, cup running over even in the presence of enemies, worth trusting this described abundance as genuinely available even within your own current, honest difficulty.

Consider today David’s own testimony, cup runneth over, even in the presence of enemies, and receive this same, genuine abundance as available in your own current, honest circumstances, whatever difficulty they currently, actually include, trusting this overflow as genuinely possible, not requiring resolved ease first.
