Riches In Glory

One of the issues of life that we all face is needing financial security. Regardless of our socioeconomic status, financial security is a human need. We need to pay our bills, put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads. It can be so easy for that basic human need to evolve into unhealthy patterns of behavior. Some become obsessed with money to the point of workaholism. Others resort to lying, cheating and stealing. While others fall into a victim role and seek dependence on other people to meet their needs. 

God’s initial plan in the Garden of Eden was that we would have all that we need in Him. We were to flourish in every way in abundance. The Fall of Man derailed us off that perfect plan. But God made a way back through Christ. Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ says, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.” Apostle Paul was talking to the believers in Philippi and thanking them for their generosity towards him. He reminded them that God is their supplier of every need. We, as believers, are blessed by the God of all creation. There are no limitations or lack in God. 

Prayer 

Heavenly Father, fill my heart with increased faith by Your Holy Spirit. I want faith to believe You for all that I need and not put my faith in other people.
