(Reflections on Psalm 23, cont’d)
This is the future of your impact on others: your overflow.
My cup overflows with blessings. Psalm 23:5c
Are you dry and barely hanging on? Or are you overflowing? Listen, your circumstances might not need changing. You may not even require a getaway. “The overflow” might come as you sit and reflect and notice how the blessings keep pouring out. This family… Those friends… A place to call home… Opportunity and safety… Even the challenges you’re facing—blessings! Preparing you for what’s next.
Listen and learn from my personal experience—as a recovering achiever—it’s better to sit, rest, receive, and recognize God’s blessings… AND THEN go and serve and encourage others from the overflow. If you’re empty, receive and recognize. If you want to serve and make an impact, fill up and overflow out.
