LIMITLESS RICHES
"My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus" Phil. 4:19
Paul's God is our God, and will supply all our need. Paul felt sure
of this in reference to the Philippians, and we feel sure of it as to
ourselves. God will do it, for it is like Him: He loves us, He
delights to bless us, and it will glorify Him to do so. His pity, His
power, His love, His faithfulness, all work together that we be not
famished.
What a measure doth the Lord go by: "According to his riches in
glory by Christ Jesus." The riches of His grace are large, but what
shall we say of the riches of His glory? His "riches of glory by
Christ Jesus," who shall form an estimate of this? According to this
immeasurable measure will God fill up the immense abyss of our
necessities. He makes the Lord Jesus the receptacle and the channel of
His fullness, and then He imparts to us His wealth of love in its
highest form. Hallelujah!
The writer knows what it is to be tried in the work of the Lord.
Fidelity has been recompensed with anger, and liberal givers have
stopped their subscriptions; but he whom they sought to oppress has
not been one penny the poorer, nay, rather he has been the richer; for
this promise has been true, "My God shall supply all our need." God's
supplies are surer than any bank.
