Emptied to be Filled

In Genesis 24:20 Rebekah filled her water jar, emptied it to fulfill the thirst of a servant and his camels, and kept refilling until they were satisfied.  In 2 Chronicles 24:11 King Joash asked the Israelites to give money to rebuilding the temple of the Lord.  A chest was put out, the Israelites filled it, the chest was emptied, replaced and filled again.
Empty...fill...empty...fill...
Am I emptying out for the purposes of God?  And being refilled by him?  Or is what I hold stagnant and still?
Lord, let me pour out for others to be filled and refreshed by your Holy Spirit...
