I Can Do All Things Through Him

Who Strengthens Me

I rejoice in the LORD greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned for me, but had no opportunity to show it. Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have. I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.

You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that accumulates to your account. I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:10-19

In all of life, we need the strength and supply of our God. He alone can tend to our needs, just as He did with Paul. We will get the help we need, in the time we need it, and in the amounts we need it, all based on the love our Savior has for us. God can equip us for all of the uncertainties of life, for He alone is our strength.

We will always have enough

when God is our supply.
