ALL MY NEEDS!

Philippians 1; Philippians 2; Philippians 3; Philippians 4


Scripture

Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

Observation


Christmas is not about having our needs met! For most of us at Christmas we talk to our loved ones about what each of us want not need! Even though Christmas should be focused on Jesus it gravitates to gift giving to each other. I am not knocking that because I love the gift giving at Christmas! There is no greater joy than watching a child at Christmas open gifts that you have bought for him or her.

The “Christ” of Christmas promises to supply all of our needs and He is very rich! He is ready and willing to meet ALL of our needs if we will just put Him first in our lives!

When we are consumed with desiring “things” it is hard to see the needs that Jesus is meeting in our lives. It is interesting how a certain “want of a particular thing” can dominate our thoughts. When you catch that happening then you can be sure that you are not putting into practice Matthew 6:33 which says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God…”!

Application

What “need” do you have that Christ has not met? Why not talk to Him about it right now!



Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am so blessed. You provide me with so many good things. You take care of my every need. Thank you for your Goodness. Thank you for providing me with so many good things. I pray today for Kathy’s Mom and sister Donna. You are the Healer and we put our faith in you!
