OVERFLOW - LIVING IN THE OVERFLOW

It may come as no surprise that while journeying through life, you will face many things that seek to drain you of the power God has given you. These distractions—because if you’re honest, that’s exactly what they are—often disguise themselves as the ordinary things of life, like relationships, finances, or even the job you’ve desperately prayed for! Although those things can be essential throughout your life, they can also become a source of depletion. The good news is that where there is emptiness in our life, God desires to fill that area—not just to the max, but to OVERFLOW! The real question is: how do you live in the overflow? Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the ultimate helper in all things. When you allow Him into your life and trust Him, He will fill you with all the power and hope you need to live in the overflow. No matter what area you need a pour-in, He is there to fill you up! Do you need strength to love and serve your family members? He will fill you up! Do you need wisdom on how to navigate a tough situation at work? He will fill you up! Do you have a long week ahead and simply need energy not to just survive but to thrive? He will fill you up! Living in the overflow is vitally important so that you can go and be the hands and feet of Jesus. God doesn’t call you to operate on empty but to be filled and equipped with what you need, both naturally and spiritually, so that you can keep advancing His Kingdom. God wants you to live in the overflow, not just for yourself, but so you can overflow into others who find themselves in a dry state. As you go throughout this day, ask yourself: What keeps me from living in the overflow? And how can I welcome the Holy Spirit into this area of my life? The Holy Spirit is a free gift, and it has the opportunity to shift how you live your life. It’s time for you to live in the overflow.

Application/ Reflection:

• In what areas of your life do you feel you are lacking?
• How have you experienced overflow in your life?
• How has the Holy Spirit worked in your life? How can it lead you to live in the overflow?

Prayer:

God, thank You for the ability to live in the overflow. Today we are asking You to overflow in every area of our lives. If any areas feel dry or lacking, we ask You to come and fill us up. God, we cannot do anything without You, but we know we can do all things with You. Thank You for the overflow. Allow us to live, serve, work, and thrive in the overflow. In Jesus' name, Amen.
