Jesus Is Provider

There is a Scripture that I have stood on, believed and quoted for some time now.

God always meets my needs, and I often don't know how, but then again it's not up to me to know how or why, but to trust the He will and thank Him for all He's done.

This is the Scripture:

Philippians 4:19 NKJV

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

In vvs. 10-18, Paul was thanking the Philippian church for sending aid to him. He told them he didn't seek the gift, but sought the fruit that abounds to their account (give and it shall be given...Luke 6:38).

Paul called their gifts "a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice and well pleasing to God."

They were obedient to God, and that pleased Him.  And Paul gave all glory to God for supplying his need.  God will use others to bless us and to provide. We need to be grateful and give Him the glory.

God provided for Paul, and Paul tells the Philippians that fruit will abound to them.

Provision can mean a lot of things.  Financial, shelter, clothing, food and anything else we need.

You might not be rich in finances, but if you have Jesus in your life, and if you have everything you NEED, then you are very rich indeed.
