Psalm 23:5 “You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing”

Have you ever overfilled a glass by mistake? As the liquid makes it’s way to the rim it seems to effortlessly rise above it and then flood down the sides. The glass becomes so full that it overflows and the excess is lost.

Today’s verse describes how God’s blessings operate in our lives. They act like a glass filled to the very brim. God desires the maximum amount of blessing in our lives without the possibility of any being lost. He fills us up with blessings to the very top, causing us to live a healthy and balanced life.

It is often at the most difficult times that we discover how blessed we are by God. It’s the times when we have “drooping heads” as this verse says. These can be times when we may be feeling low, inadequate or just plain miserable. These are the times when God tops up the blessing and causes them to come right to the brim of our lives where we can notice them.

Remember that our God is the one who tops up the blessings not the one who removes them. As we walk in His ways, following His Word and stay on the paths of righteousness he does not remove His Blessing. Rather, He keeps them topped up to us every day.

This week take time to notice how good God is to us. He’s keeping His Blessings topped up in our lives no matter how we’re feeling. As we notice them we’re equipping ourselves to enter a future where we can flourish and grow like never before!
