“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (NASB)
It is important to understand the context of our promise in today's selected verse. The promise is simple to understand and it is that God promises to supply ALL our needs in proportion to His infinite resources, not just a portion out of his riches. Think on that a moment. There is no limit to the riches and the resources of our God in heaven. His store of riches will never be depleted. This is a blessed promise. However, we must recognize this promise given in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Christians gathering in Philippi was a response to the gift they had sent to him. (Read verses 15-18.) This generous church, itself facing challenges, gave generously to Paul's needs more than once and Paul affirms for them that their needs, in kind will be supplied. We can never out give the Lord. Be confident that He can and will meet every need that you have—especially as you are following Him in obedience.
