You honor me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, LORD.
There comes a time that we feel empty, not where we should be. When that happens, we need to turn to the Lord. We need to ask Him to take us by the hand and lead us back to where we need to be.
PSALM 23:5: You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.
If we allow ourselves to run on empty for any amount of time, we are setting ourselves up to start getting farther and farther away from the Father. When we do that, we tend to fall back into some of our old ways.
And that is when you bring your empty self to Jesus and ask Him to fill your hungry and thirsty soul with His righteousness, His goodness, His mercy, energy, power, wisdom, and patience; to lay your empty heart and soul at His altar and ask Him to fill you instead of trying to do it yourself. It is possible to know Jesus and still be empty. So, you have to come to Him regularly and ask Him to fill up your cup.
