My Cup Runneth Over

Our church just recently finished a series on Psalm 23. It was a six week series and each week the pastor dove into a verse of Psalm 23. I thought the series was so good. You can always watch past sermons at rivervalleychurch.org or I like to download them on iTunes if I miss a week. This morning I listened to week 5 of the series because I had missed it.  After going through what we did with Grace, I know how quickly life can change and how scary it can be. Your perspective on life changes dramatically after something like that, so now that all is going well and everyone is healthy, we feel overly blessed. I feel "too blessed" if that's possible, it's as if I'm waiting for something else bad to happen. This morning I was convicted of having those thoughts after listening to the sermon. Pastor Rob was saying that God wants us to be blessed, he wants my cup to "runneth over".  I shouldn't be asking "When is the next tragedy going to happen?", but instead, I should be asking God to fill another cup of blessing for me and to keep the blessings coming!
Even if something else bad happens in our lives someday, it is such comfort knowing that it is all God's plan and I will seek God's will in all that I do.
