And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Philippians 4:19, 20

The believers in Philippi continued to support Paul when others, seemingly, held back.  I have found that it is always tempting to hold back a bit and not give all to Jesus, just in case!

Paul has none of that.  He wrote, without a moment of hesitancy, that God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.  The believers at Philippi obviously sent Paul a nice sized love offering.  The size does not matter, the love behind the sending is what rejoiced the heart of Paul.  What they sent for Paul’s needs melted his heart.  They did not send out of their abundance, but they shared what they had with Paul.  We have no idea of the size of the gift.  That is not the point.  The point is that out of their love for Christ Jesus they shared what they had with Paul.

Their gift of love set Paul’s soul to singing, To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
