“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19 NLT
Paul is writing tot eh Philippians thanking them for their gifts. Through them God has supplied all He needed and more. He is in turn telling them that the same God that motivated them to give will supply them also all they need.
As we are part of God’s supply chain, as we function as intended, we are a conduit for blessing. As a conduit we receive to be a blessing. As we sow we reap.
I have come to realise that if the supply is not there, perhaps the perceived need is not a need but a want. I constantly evaluate according to this principle. As someone who is cleaning out my house, and packing to go to Nepal, I realise we accumulate a lot of unnecessary rubbish, using good money that could have been used for real purposes, such as feeding the poor, preaching the gospel or helping those imprisoned for their faith. Often a lot we buy is comfort junk. Eventually it is discarded as junk.
Live wisely, live aware. Amen!
