And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Recommended Reading: Philippians 4:10-20
Even a light rain can release thousands of gallons of water in an hour, amounting to millions of individual drops! That’s also the way God showers us with blessings. He sends countless small mercies into our lives, meeting our needs according to His riches. Philippians 4:19 is a vivid promise, but don’t forget the context.
In this passage, the apostle Paul was thanking the Philippians for financially supporting his work. In return he promised God would meet all their needs. In his commentary on Philippians, Jacobus Müller wrote, “In the same way as [the Philippians] supplied Paul’s needs by the gifts they sent him, so God with His gifts and blessings will supply all their needs. This great assurance is given to the Church by the apostle…. [God] will make provision in His fatherly love and care for all needs material and spiritual, for time and eternity, according to the richness and fullness of His divine providence.”1
Let’s support God’s work, and you can be sure of His showers of blessings on your life.
Christian, remember the all sufficiency of thy God!
