English Devotion - God‘s Supply

God's Supply 

 

Phil 4:19 

 

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. 

 

Did you know that half the world goes to bed hungry every night? God allows it so that humans can involve themselves in the reciprocity of sufficiency to the inadequacy. 

 

Philippians had undoubtedly given from their meager resources.  They were not wealthy people.  Paul is saying to them, “My God will reimburse you. 

 

Prov. 3:9-10:  Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.  

 

For some of us, God is wanting us to walk through the fire rope before the breakthrough happens. Yet God wants us to honor him with what we have first. 

 

2 Cor. 9:10-11:  Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.  

 

For some, you are being made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us, your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 

 

These verses do not guarantee God will make every Christian, who gives liberally, rich. 

 

But they do indicate blessing for the faithful giver to the Lord.  So, if you want, give!  Why?  Because you can’t out give God!  

 

The promise God will meet every need must be put into the context of Philippians 4:14-19.  

 

God does not meet the needs of every Christian indiscriminately but every Christian who is faithfully giving to God’s work. let us learn to be faithful in way of honoring God and let us allow his riches and glory to fill our homes. 

 

Let's pray: 

 

Father, thank you for all you have given me and will give me. You have not only supplied my every need but you have given me untold riches in Christ. Help me to live as one so blessed that I can say with Paul, My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
