HE HAS FILLED MY CUP Praise Him for His mighty works, for His marvellous grace. Let all that is within me praise His wonderful name. Let my heart be lifted up in thanksgiving, and my soul rejoice with song. He has delivered me out of the lions mouth, He has lifted me out of the pit. He has put a song in my mouth, He has put gladness in my heart. He is altogether lovely. More than tongue can express or finite mind can know, for He has stretched forth His mighty hand, and has smitten the waters: He has made me to pass through dry~shod. Hallelujah! For there shall be no more sea. (Rev. 21:1) There shall be no more any seperation! He has removed every barrier; He has bridged the gulf. He has drawn me unto Himself, yes, into Himself. He has left the enemy in confusion and defeat. He has led me through the way of the wilderness, and His hand has been a shade from the burning heat. Through the barren wasteland, He has filled my cup from living streams. He has sustained, He has delivered, He has revealed Himself in the cloud, in the fire, and in the Shekinah Glory. Lo, as if this has not been enough, He brought me to the banks of Jordan. There He did precede me: for as the priests went first, bearing the ark, so He did pass ahead in full possession of all His promises, and thus He opened my way and brought me into the land flowing with milk and honey. (Josh. 3:16, 17 & 4:24) a land of promise, a land of fulfillment; a land of conquest, a land of victory, a land of fullness, a land of abundance. A land of fatness, a land of unreserved blessing. Yes He has been unperturbed, though the inhabitants of the land be giants: for in His sight they will be as grasshoppers! And one with Him shall be mightier than them all. Yes, and He shall give me Hebron for an inheritance. Let me not camp in the plain; but give me this mountain. For though my youth was spent in the wilderness, let my strength be renewed: Let my eyes see with keener vision, let my arm be mighty in battle. (Josh 14:10-14) For surely for this hour have You preserved my life. As sheep you led us through the wilderness, but now, O God, we stand in the land; as sheep no longer, nor You as shepherd, but you stand before us as the Mighty Captain of the Hosts of the Almighty, and we as men of war. (Josh. 5:13-15) We seek no longer to rest in green pastures and lie besides still waters; For You have issued Your command to wipe out the giants, and to utterly destroy the inhabitants of the land. For Your provisions are free and full and abundant; but they are not uncontested. Yes, the enemy seeks by myriad means to resist our every move toward conquest and possession. STRENGHTEN US OUR FAITH. Make us mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Let us bind on the full armour of God that we may be able to withstand the attacks of the adversary, and that we may by the energy of the Holy Spirit deliver to him death blows. (Eph. 6:10-17) Suffer us never to fall into his hands. Fight You for us; and in your grace and mercy, sustain us when we waver. Be ever close at our side, and forbid that we leave the job unfinished as did Israel of old, and thereby suffer untold unguish. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD BRINGS YOU INTO A GOOD LAND, A LAND OF BROOKS OF WATER, OF FOUNTAINS AND DEPTHS THAT SPRING OUT OF VALLEYS AND HILLS...DEUT. 8:7
