An Overflowing Cup

 You prepare a table before me 
   in the presence of my enemies. 
You anoint my head with oil; 
   my cup overflows.  Psalm 23:5


Imagine the Lord of the universe preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies. The loving kindness of God to us is really incomprehensible. What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him (Psalm 8:4)? For those who are purchased by the blessed blood of Christ, there is no end to the good things God has in store for us (1 Corinthians 2:9;  Matthew 7:11b; 1 Peter 1:4). We have been given even more than we need. Every good and perfect gift is from above (James 1:17). Our cups indeed overflow.
