The other night I had one of those good waiters that can
really make a dining out experience better. He never let my glass get empty,
and maybe just because it was a slow Monday night, but it seemed that every
time I took a sip he was right there with a pitcher to top me off.
I don’t like to sit at a meal with an empty glass. That is
why I share in David’s joy that “my cup runneth over (Psalm 23:5).” God has
blessed each of us so far beyond what we ever deserve. With God there is no
debate on whether the glass is half empty or half full; it isn’t half anything.
God has richly blessed each of us, but that doesn’t mean that we will never
have a bad day, never lose a job, or never get a bad doctor’s report. It just
means that God is meeting our needs.
If you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back,
food in your stomach, and spare change on your dresser, you are in the upper 2%
of the world’s wealthy. There are 360 million people in America, and some 6
billion people in the world; that means that 98% of those 6 billion have far
less than we do.
James 1:17 reminds us that every good gift comes from God,
so be sure to thank Him today for making your cup overflow.
