NOTES

Overwhelmed
“The Anointing”
Pastor Carl Nichols

Psalm 23:5b
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

You cannot pour out what God has not first poured in.

“YOU ANOINT” - HONOR

Identity comes before responsibility.

The anointing came before the assignment.

“MY HEAD WITH OIL” - HEALING

The sheep couldn't manufacture what only the shepherd could provide.

The shepherd heals wounds the sheep cannot reach.

A godly father pays attention to wounds in his family.

“MY CUP OVERFLOWS” - LEGACY

A full cup blesses me. An overflowing cup blesses everyone around me.

Whatever fills you eventually spills out of you.

Your family lives downstream from what fills your heart.

The entire Psalm has been teaching one lesson: Everything David needed came from the Shepherd.

Before God asks you to pour out, he wants to pour in.

The greatest gift a father gives his family is not what he can produce for them, it’s what God is continually producing in him.

The legacy of a godly father isn't a full bank account. It's an overflowing cup.
