| But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. | ||
| Philippians 4:19 | ||
| A favorite of ‘Precious Promise’ collections, this verse is indeed a powerful promise. But notice to whom it’s given. Taken in context, Paul is saying, ‘Know this, you who are faithful in giving: God will supply all of your need.’ ‘Can I borrow your boat?’ Jesus asked. ‘Sure,’ said the fishermen. So Jesus pushed out a little ways into the Sea of Galilee, and, using the water as a natural amphitheater, He preached to the multitude gathered on the shore. ‘Thanks for letting Me use your boat,’ He said to the fishermen when He was finished. ‘Go ahead and take it out now.’ They did — and when they cast their nets into the water, so great was the haul that it almost sunk their boat (Luke 5:3-6). If we give, God will supply all of our needs because we just can’t out-give Him. Develop a life of tithing — and you’ll be just as amazed as were those fishermen by the Lord’s provision in your life. | ||
