The wonderful verse in Philippians 4:19 tells us: "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." How sweet is this blessed promise in this little verse! Our needs may be vastly different, but God has the supply for each different need.
Let us look at a few thrilling examples from God's Holy Word:
Millions of Israelites needed food in the wilderness, and the manna came fresh from heaven every day for 40 years! Praise the Lord! (Exodus 16:35)
Gideon needed victory over the innumerable Midianites, and God caused confusion to fall on his enemies! What a thrilling story to read in the 7th chapter of the book of Judges.
Elijah needed a powerful demonstration of God's authority, and fire came down from heaven -- I Kings, chapter 18! It makes me think of the little chorus -- "What A Mighty God We Serve"!!!
In the New Testament, we read where a man with a withered hand needed a new hand (Mark 3:5); a blind man needed new eyes (John 9:5-6), and a dead man needed life (John 11:43-44).
Jesus calmed the sea when the disciples needed freedom from their fear (Mark 4:38-39).
And He pulled Peter up from the sea when he needed rescue (Matthew 14:30-31).
So we see that no matter the size of the need, God's resources are more than sufficient!! So let us heed the wonderful admonition in Philippians 4:4 --
"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice"!
