Embrace Blessing

 Psalm 23:1-6
God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure. You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

God always blesses us with much more than we could ever imagine. However, there are times we decide to settle for less than God's best for our lives. We settle for things that don't match up with what God has in mind. We are faced with choices on a daily basis that have the potential to be mediocre or to be the best. Decide to run after God's best. This verse in Psalm says, "my cup brims with blessing." Brim means to be full of and going over. We have blessings in our lives that can filll us up and run over. Be the kind of person that embraces all that God has for your life and choose to in turn bless others.
