And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:19
We will often find ourselves in places where we and our resources are inadequate, but never in any place where our need is bigger than God’s ability or reserve, for His supply is in the inexhaustible riches of His glory in Jesus. Neither His love for us, nor His provision for us will ever run out, which means everything we really need will really be supplied in and through and by Jesus. Not maybe. Not probably. Definitely. He will provide for every need. Not some of them. Not most of them. All of them, without exception. Right when we need it, not a second too late. If we don’t have it now, it’s because we don’t need it now. Listen: God doesn’t define “need” the way you and I do. What He promises to supply is anything and everything that is required for us to live with joy and fruitfulness as we fulfil the plans and purposes He has for us. Only He knows what we really need, and we can be sure that we will lack nothing that He determines would be for our good, even if that means seasons of suffering and hardship. His grace is sufficient! Though God will often supply our need differently than we expect, we have the promise of the sustaining presence of Jesus with us always to deliver that aid and deliver us safely to our heavenly home. Therefore, we have no reason for fear, worry, panic, discontentment, unhappiness, or whining. God means for us not to worry about our future because we have the promise of His provision for us in Jesus. Take heart today, take your cares to Him in prayer, and take a look around for God at work. You need help. You will have the help you need. Because He is faithful, and He is for you.
