When we want overflow but life overwhelms us. Have you ever been in that place?
I was thinking about the people who had to endure to get to overflow.
Joseph endured ridicule, accusations, prison to get to the palace. His character never changed. He kept pushing in the right direction. He was positioned to help many that would have perished.
Daniel trusted that by obeying God he would be protected. He endured people being jealous of the favor on his life. His obedience kept him protected. Because he endured the kings heart changed and they begin to worship God. A nation came to know that God is the one true God.
These were overwhelming moments where fear and worry could have taken over, yet these men endured knowing that God was faithful.
When we endure the test, the season, the pain, we make it to overflow.
Endurance – the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way.
After they endured the blessing, the overflow happened.
In order for the spirit to overflow in your life the flesh has to go. The desires have to change. You have to endure the process.
Just know He is guiding your path.
Psalms 142:3
When my spirit is overwhelmed within me, You knew my path.
