You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:5-6
“Our entire life is a gift we have received from God through no merit of our own. For this reason our habitual disposition of thanksgiving to God should overflow in acts of thanksgiving throughout the day.”
Francis Fernandez in In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year, volume 7 (London: Scepter, 1993) 198.
As we approach Thanksgiving in USA, we picture a table full of food.
David, the psalmist, tells us that even thought everything might be crazy all around us, God takes care of us. He provides everything we need and then some. Our cup overflow.
The word picture of a cup points to personal provision. To overflow implies resources for others.
As Thanksgiving draws near, think of how overflow could become part of your “habitual disposition” on a regular basis. Are there people or ministries you could bless regularly?
At GTP we are praying for monthly givers. We have 45 and are praying for 55 more by 31 December 2024.
Why set up monthly giving to GTP? No other ministry is strengthening stewards and setting up accountability structures for local generosity to flow in nations. As this metric shows stability, it motivates foundations to give us major gifts.
Would you pray with us that 55 people will take this step from their overflow?
Set up your monthly giving here. And, we got a matching so if you set up your monthly giving, GTP gets an extra $100 per person, up to new monthly givers.
