What are you overflowing with? Overflowing with worry?
“What if it doesn’t work out?”
Overflowing with doubt?
“I don’t see how this problem can resolve.”
Overflowing with discouragement?
“It’s been so long; this challenge is too big.”
You’re overflowing with the wrong thing! If you’ll start overflowing with hope, believing despite what it looks like, thanking God when you could be complaining, expecting things to change in your favor, then you’re going to see God show out in your life.
