Good morning!
I am reading in 2Kings this morning. and I have to stop to soak in how amazing God is.
2Kings 6
- And Elisha prayed and said, “O Jehovah, I ask you, open his eyes and let him see.” And Jehovah opened the young man’s eyes and he saw, and behold, the mountain was filled with horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.
I have always loved this. This morning as I read it, though, I was struck by the fact man did not design chariots pulled by horses. God gave man that design. There are heavenly chariots. A heavenly army!
I have enjoyed reading about Elijah and Elisha so much that it is hard to put down. Between the kings, the prophets and Job, my cup runneth over!
But then, God designed cups, too!
Psa. 16:5: The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, and my cup. You secure my lot.
Psa. 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the sight of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil. My cup is overflowing!
Psa. 73:10 Therefore, His people turn away after them, and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Psa. 75:8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup with wine that has foamed and is fully mixed. When He pours out this wine, all the wicked of the earth will surely drink; they will drain it to the dregs!
Psa. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
Hope y’all are curled up on the couch with a cup full of coffee and a big bowl of fellowship!
