“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Promise: God promises to supply for my every need.

Does God promise in this verse to supply everything I want? NO! The key to this promise is the word need. There is a great difference between what I want and what I truly need. Sometimes I think I, desperately, need something, and when I think about it more seriously, I realize that it is only what I want or desire. God has all the riches of the universe at His command, but He gives me only what I need. This brings me comfort, as often times I seem to be my own worst enemy, wanting things that will cause me harm. God knows what is best for me, and I am comforted that He will always tend to my needs.

Lessons and Truths:

1.God has infinite resources available to me through Christ Jesus.

2.God is sovereign over all circumstances, places, and people.

3.God in His omniscience knows all my needs.

4.God can and will provide for me. He loves and cares about me, and I am important to Him.

Prayer: Lord, create in me an attitude of gratitude for your abundant provision and care. Guide me to ask only for those things that I truly need. Give me discernment about things that are really only wants. Increase my faith so that I can live with greater trust in you and assurance of your provision. Amen.
