Supply Our Needs
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Paul assures the Philippians, who gave so much to others, that they now find themselves in need, that the Lord will provide. Generosity breeds generosity. We can’t outgive God, no `matter how much we try, and when we find ourselves lacking, the Lord will send provisions. Christ’s followers through the centuries have relied on this promise, and God always comes through.
Personally, these eighteen words carried me through years of facing layoff after layoff. Every six months, when another round occurred, I meditated on today’s verse—memorizing and reciting Phil. 4:19 helped me dampen the fear and anxiety, trusting God would provide no matter what happened. Even if I lost my job, the Lord would give me another one, just like He did in the past.
Whatever need You have, rely on God’s promise to meet it. Whether financial, relational, or health-related, go to the One who has all the answers and the riches. Trust the Lord’s promises, and let your faith overcome your fears. Eighteen words can help you face the giant before you and defeat it. The Almighty controls every resource and will distribute them to you, fulfilling needs, meeting provisions, and giving you a way to persevere on the journey. Rely on the Lord’s word to help you keep going. Expect God’s provision, and it will come.
Application:
God provides all our needs.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for supplying all our needs through Your glorious riches. As worry and anxiety overcome us, remind us of Your promise and help us defeat them with Your words. Let us live confidently in You, knowing wherever You guide us, You will also provide.
IJNIP. Amen
