Your Daily Slice


Nisan 29
Saturated


My cup runs over.  (Ps 23:5 ISR)

The Hebrew word that has been translated as “running over” is the word revâyâh (Strong’s #H7310), and this verse is one of the two places where it is used in Scripture.  It literally means to be completely saturated, to have an overflow and abundance.  And as we have looked at this 23rd Psalm, we can see how completely our Creator has provided all that we need, that we may be completely “saturated”.

He is first our Shepherd, our care-giver.  And because He is the One watching and tending to us, we are not in want.  We have the nourishment that we need, in both the physical and spiritual, available to us at all times.  The areas of our lives that need tender loving care are completely in His hands, and we find ourselves restored and whole.  Our Creator is the One who chooses the path that we walk upon, and through His Torah, He reveals to us the way in which we should live.  When darkness and evil threaten to block our path, Elohim is there, walking with us through those troubled times.  Because we know, according to our emunah, our faith, that our Father is always with us, we stand secure, and without fear.  We accept His discipline and correction, knowing that because of His love for us, He only wants the very best for each one of us.  And because of this amazing love, we have the future to look forward to, looking toward the banquet that He has planned, one like no other.


For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, from whom all fatherhood in the heavens and earth is named, in order that He might give you, according to the riches of His esteem by power, to be strengthened in the inner man, through His Spirit, that the Messiah might dwell in your hearts through belief – having become rooted and grounded in love, in order that you might be strengthened to firmly grasp, with all the set-apart ones, what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Messiah which surpasses knowledge, in order that YOU MIGHT BE FILLED TO ALL THE COMPLETENESS OF ELOHIM. (Eph 14-19 ISR, emphasis mine)
