"Cup Running Over"

"I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts." (Psalms 119:100)

  Yes, this too is a reference to Psalms 23; it just seemed to fit nicely into what I feel this verse is speaking about and why it is the David realized this amazing truth about God's word. As I have mentioned before, the instruments God instructed Moses to make in the Tabernacle were all given measurements, with the exception of one, the Water Basin. We can agree to disagree on what 'water' represents in the Bible, some say the Spirit, some say the Word; but if you listen to what Jesus says about the Holy Spirit, water is actually a representation of both, the Spirit and the Word, aka Jesus Christ! To be more specific, you cannot have one without the other. Jesus said it over and over, that the Father and Him were one; therefore it is quite easy to assume that this "One" Jesus is speaking about would also included the Holy Spirit, which is what it means when the Bible speaks of, Father, Son, and Spirit. Regardless what you think the water represents, it cannot be measured or limited by any container or space. In other words, the cup is not only full, put the cup is always running over! If you don't understand how this relates, it is really quite simple to explain. What has already been discovered or written is not the end of discovery or explanation. John mentions a small hint of this in the end of his account of Jesus, saying, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they could be written every one, I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." That pretty much means that there are still many more things to learn and to discover about God's Word! And in case you might have forgotten, John starts out his account of Jesus by saying, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." To the point of David statement, "because I keep thy precepts," God's precepts are not that hard to keep, because His precepts never ever change! Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever...

""Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock."" (Matthew 7:24-25) NLT
