“My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (ESV)
Thirteen verses before the one we’ve selected for today we are given the specific command to “not be anxious about anything.” Instead, with prayer and thanksgiving we let God know what is troubling us. (Philippians 4:6) After looking at “how not to worry” in Matthew 6 for the past six days, today we see another affirmation here regarding why worry is useless. We are promised as believers in Christ Jesus that God WILL supply EVERY need. And notice from where the supply for our needs come. The come according to His riches…” Not out of but according to. This is critically important for us to understand. God’s riches are without limit. “Out of” indicates that the source of supply diminishes as God provides for us. Absolutely not. It is ‘according to’ and infinite supply. God will not run out of riches to supply our needs. As if we had a credit line from a bank that had no limit and no requirement for pay-back so, we’d never be broke. No matter how much and no matter how often we draw on God’s riches there will always be what we need in that supply for God to meet our every need.
