God wants to be your first responder!

“My God will supply every need of yours according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

This promise from God is that He will fulfill your every need by working through the riches of His glory in His Son. This encompasses all your spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Nothing is precluded from this vow from God!

God has given authority over all things in the heavens and the earth to His Son. Jesus is the only way you can experience an abundant life. He wants to live in you and through you with His Spirit.

The question is whether you look to God for your every need or rely on yourself or the ways of the world. Most people are not really serious about seeking help from God until they get into a serious problem and see no way out.

God does not want to be your last resort in time of trouble. He wants to be your primary resource for your every need. So when a problem occurs, He is the first place you go to for help.

You have to delineate between a need and a desire in appropriating this promise. God is strongly committed to providing for your basic living needs however your desires fall into the category of His perfect timing. This is not weakening the Word of God but clarifying that the promise is under the authority and timing of almighty God.

Your thoughts are not God’s thoughts and His ways are not your ways. He wants you to turn to Him for your every need and then let go and trust. He delights in rescuing His people.

King David became rich and famous because he believed and acted on this promise during his entire lifetime. And David had to hide in caves from his enemies and faced insurmountable challenges in his life.

Nothing is too big a problem for God! Make Him your first responder!
