Supply

Over the years we run into shortages of different kinds. During Christmas there can be a shortage of the biggest toy. Maybe it is fuel, eggs, or like during COVID, toilet paper. None of these shortages are ever fun and it can turn people a little crazy searching for what they need.

Thank the Lord that for the things we really need, we won’t run out.

Philippians 4:19 says “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (ESV)

There are two parts to this verse we should pay close attention to. First, Paul is telling believers that God has continually provided for his needs in previous verses and that we should be sure that He is going to continue to provide for our needs as well. Secondly, God is going to supply for our needs “according to his riches in glory”. This means that while the supply of other things in this world can be in short supply, the God of the universe will always have enough to give to His children.

Finally, this doesn’t mean that God will always supply all we want. But He has more than enough to give us what we need and for that, we should always be so very grateful.

In His Service,

Pastor Jared
