Overflow with hope!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Rom. 15:13 NIV)

When I think of this verse I imagine a big rain barrelsitting under a waterspout receiving asteady stream of water causing it to overflow the brim and running over.

In the same way, fill your mind with a steady stream of the Word of God until it simply overflows. The Bible says, “for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45b) Sounds like overflow to me!
