• Abundant Supply

  “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Probably all of us have claimed this promise many times during our lives. I believe God meant just what He said -- that He would supply all our needs! Whether our needs be spiritual or temporal, He has just what we need, and our needs may be met in ways that will surprise us. Our needs may not be met until the very last moment, but God always comes through just in time. Time after time God has been faithful to keep His promise. One part of that verse has always seemed to stand out to me -- “according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Just take a moment and meditate on the riches in glory. They are so great, so plentiful, that our finite minds cannot grasp the extent of His riches. So, there is no question about whether or not He can supply all our needs -- not just all that I have, but all that everyone in the world has! I read a statement something to the effect that God has so committed Himself to answer prayer and meet the needs of His people, that, if necessary, He will create the answer to meet the need. How I praise Him today for the privilege of being a child of the King! One who is so wealthy, so caring, and so willing to help His people. Dottie Rambo has written a song that speaks of this very promise: “Bring All Your Needs to the Altar.”

  Walk boldly to stand in His presence;
  Lay claim to the promise He made.
  Your soul can be cleansed ‘ neath the flow of the fountain;
  He blood washed guilt all away.

  He watches the fall of the sparrow,
  Concerned with the lilies so fair.
  How much more He cares for the sheep of His pasture!
  So bring Him your burdens to bear.

  Chorus:
  Bring all your needs to the altar,
  Bring all your needs to the Lord.
  He is so willing and able to help you;
  Bring all your needs to the Lord.
