Has anyone in your life made promises that they don't or can't keep? Have they supplied you with everything you need?
Sometimes they may tell us they will take care of us with good intentions. We may discover that they couldn't or refused to follow through for whatever reason.
One of Gods love notes promises to take care of us Philippians 4:19.
Have you ever felt like that scripture was a mistake because He doesn't seem to be supplying much, if anything at all?
There are many examples of teachings with in (and without) the Christian church that teaches us that if we give X amount of dollars, God will abundantly shower us with blessings and we can become wealthy.
This is a false teaching.
The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:19 that he know what it is to be in need, and what it is to have plenty.
But, throughout his ministry he was ship wrecked. robbed and beaten. On his way to evangelize the gospel of Jesus Christ. he did not have fortunes to keep for him, locked up in the local bank.
That scripture in Romans, tells us, that God will supply all of our needs, according to his riches in glory. It doesn't say he will supply every thing we want. Nor does it say that we will become wealthy.
Paul gives us the secret to his life is found in Philippians 4:12
I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret to being content in every situation, whether will fed or hungry whether living in plenty or want.
To be content in every situation. No matter what. And in the mean time, God takes care of our needs according to what he deems we should have. Not what we want. Not how rich we think we should be.
That is today love note from God who loves us and keeps his promise that he will supply our needs.
According to his riches!hanks for coming today, Friends. God bless you and your famili
