Why What's Yours Should Stay Yours and Not Spill Into Everyone Else's Intersection

Proverbs 5:15-16 says drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?

What God gave you privately isn't meant for public consumption. Your intimacy. Your marriage. Your private victories. Your personal breakthroughs. Jesus Christ gives you cisterns to draw from, not to drain in the streets.

Kingdom wisdom knows the difference between what's for you and what's for display. Not everything needs an audience. Not every blessing needs a broadcast. Some things are sacred because they're private. Drink from your own well. Let it sustain you. Don't spill what's meant to fill you into streets that'll just waste it.

What private blessing are you spilling into public streets that Jesus Christ gave you to drink from privately?
