Overflowing in Usefulness to Other
Isaiah 44:3-5
For I will pour water on him that is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground: I will pour my spirit on your seed…


Egypt has the river Nile all the year round, but as a fertilizing power the Nile is practically useless till it is in flood and overflowing its banks. Then it bestows the needed blessing upon every foot of land it touches. It is when we are filled with the Spirit to the point of overflowing that we become a power for good to others.

(T. Waugh.)
