"But my God
shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
We all have needs. Sometimes
those needs are spiritual in nature-- salvation, the empowerment of Holy Spirit,
wisdom, grace, mercy, etc. Sometimes they are physical-- healing in our bodies,
strength for a task. Sometimes the need is emotional-- peace of mind, comfort
in sorrow, healing of a broken heart. Sometimes they are material-- food,
clothing, shelter. Sometimes the need is in the area of relationships--
restoration of a broken relationship, grace in dealing with other people, love
for someone. Sometimes the need is financial-- a bill that needs paying, a job
to make a living. Then sometimes a need is in a category all of its own. Needs
vary and they come in all forms. But whatever the need, God gives us a promise
that He will supply it.
When God said He would supply
all your need, He didn't say He would supply only the spiritual ones or the
physical ones. He said He would supply all of them regardless of how they are
classified by us. When He said He would supply all your need, He said all. He
didn't say He would supply part of it, some of it, half of it, a portion of it,
He said ALL of it. He is not a "Half way God". He supplies it all. He has
never done anything half way. He didn't create just a portion of the world at
the beginning. He created it all until it was finished and there was nothing
left to create. He didn't provide for part of your salvation, He provided it
all. Jesus didn't stop short of the plan of redemption. He drank every last
dreg of the bitter cup He was given. He hung on the cross until the last enemy
of our soul was defeated and the full price of our redemption was paid. He
stayed there suffering until it was finished-- completely finished. There
wasn't anything left to do.
My God shall supply all your
need. Man may only be able to help you to a point. He may help a little. He
may begin his help and then either stop or fall short. But God will not stop
half way in supplying your need. He will supply all of it. He will supply it
until He has finished it. He will move on your behalf until it is all taken
care of. Look to Him to supply it and trust Him to supply it-- all of
it.
Have a great day. God will
supply your need, whatever it is, and He won't stop short of fulfilling it
all.
