Unlimited Riches

But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Need courage, strength, money, patience? When you put your faith and trust in Christ, God will meet all your needs. This doesn’t necessarily mean He’ll give you all your wants or desires, although God will often give blessings out of His great love. And God can bring your wants and desires in line with His will; His will is always for you and not against you.

In the original context of this verse, the New Testament teaches us that Paul—who was in prison at the writing of this letter—was thanking the Philippians for abundantly and generously providing for his needs. They helped him when no one else did. They saw it as their duty to take care of the man of God and for that Paul was thankful, but he also reminds us that we should learn to be content in all situations, whether we have the bare minimum (only his basic needs met) or plenty, because we can rely on God, who will never let us down.

Man will fail us – our teams will lose, our leaders will disappoint us, even our friends may let us down at times.  But God will not.  God never lets us down.
