Blessings Overflow - 2 Samuel 9:9-10 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
2 Samuel 9:9-10 (NIV)
"Blessings Overflow"

Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.   You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

----------------------------------------

     Psalm 23:5 says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."  Mephibosheth thought King David was his enemy, but GOD showed him that who he thought was an enemy was a blessing!  King David blessed Mephibosheth with everything that had belong to his grandfather!  A blessing from two generations back (there is a sermon in that!).  Now!  My wife calls this the "Saucer Blessing"  When a cup of tea overflows, it spills over into the saucer!  It's the same tea from the cup to the saucer . . . right!  As King David was blessing Mephibosheth, the overflow went to Ziba, who was Saul's servant!  That's not all . . . Ziba had fifteen sons who were also blessed and twenty servants who were also bless!

     Here is the point!  When your cup overflows with blessings from GOD . . . look around and see who else is being blessed!  GOD doesn't give you a blessing to keep in your pocket (cup), but HIS blessings overflow (saucer) for others to share in its goodness!
