My God Will
Meet All Your Needs
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern
for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not
saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the
circumstances. I
know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have
learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed
or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who
gives me strength.
Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover,
as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the
gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the
matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica,
you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. Not that I desire your gifts; what I
desire is that more be credited to your account. I have received full payment and have
more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant
offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs
according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
To our God and Father be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:10-20
A part of our needs is a feeling of contentment. Jesus Christ provides
that to us. Whether our issues are family or health related,
or financial or work related, He is with us.
Take every day one step at a time, regardless of how uncomfortable the
environment might be. God will supply your needs.
Contentment is not natural for any of us. The competitive spirit in us
drives us to compare, to complain, and to covet. We all face difficulties, but
we can learn to trust God and be content.
Contentment is not possessing everything but giving
thanks for everything you possess.
