What Is in Your Cup?






Scripture: Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

Devotional: 

As you begin your day and cradle your cup of coffee, take a moment to pause. What is filling your cup today? Beyond the aroma and warmth of your morning brew, consider what nourishes your spirit. Just as a cup of coffee provides a temporary energy boost, our choices—our thoughts, habits, and the time we spend in prayer and Scripture—shape our inner lives.


Reflect on your daily consumption. Do you invest in fleeting pleasures, or do you intentionally fill your day with practices that offer lasting nourishment? Perhaps a few quiet moments spent reading the Bible or engaging in heartfelt prayer can transform an ordinary morning into a spiritual retreat. The psalmist paints a beautiful picture of abundance: a life so richly blessed by God that our cup overflows with grace and provision. This verse reminds us that the eternal satisfaction we seek is not found in the temporary but in the everlasting nourishment offered by Christ.


Today, ask yourself: Is your cup overflowing with God's blessings and truth, or is it left nearly empty? Allow this reflection to guide you in filling your life with the spiritual sustenance that truly satisfies you. Allow Him to overflow in your life today.

    This verse uses the overflowing cup as a metaphor for God's abundant provision. God has established a path to victory for individuals, even amidst perceived encirclement by adversaries.

Don't You Dare Quit

  Don't You Dare Quit Let me just put this out there—when you are strategically walking in the will of the Father, the enemy will be upset.  He doesn’t come after the stagnant; he targets those moving in divine purpose. That’s why we must stay  intentional  in our pursuit of sharing the gospel. Do. Not. Come. Off. The. Wall. Stay in position. Keep praying. Seek  God’s guidance, wisdom, insight, and divine covering.  The enemy is a master manipulator, a trickster who will use every tactic to try and get you to abort your  God-ordained  mission. But hear me:  he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”  –  Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) This battle isn’t just physical—it’s  spiritual. Yes, you may get tired, and yes, the road may feel long....

You Are Much Too Good

  You Are Much Too Good Have you ever felt like you were not good enough? Like the world measured you against a standard you didn't meet? Maybe rejection, setbacks, and closed doors made you question your worth. But here's the truth— you are much too good to be defined by worldly limitations. Every closed door, every "no," and every disappointment was not meant to break you—it was meant to position you. You were never overlooked; you were being prepared for something greater. God never intended for you to settle because His plans are far better than anything you could imagine. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NKJV) reminds us of our identity: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..." You are chosen . You are set apart . You are God's own . The world may try to diminish your worth, but God has already declared who you a...

The Antidote: Jesus

Image
Jesus is the Antidote to all of Life Problems As a nurse, I have witnessed firsthand the power of medications in neutralizing harmful effects, restoring health, and providing relief. In the medical field, we use antidotes to counteract the effects of toxins, overdoses, and harmful substances. Whether it's r eversin g an overdose, neutralizing a venom, or treating a life-threatening reaction, an antidote is a powerful agent that brings healing and restoration. Similarly, Jesus is the antidote to the brokenness, sin, and burdens that weigh us down. The world offers many temporary remedies: success, wealth, relationships, and self-reliance, but none can truly heal the soul. Jesus alone is the cure for our deepest wounds, the One who neutralizes sin's effects and restores us to spiritual health. The beautiful part? No appointment is necessary, no copay is required, and no prescription refills are needed because Jesus is always available. He offers complete healing, redemption, an...
