God’s Faithfulness

And my God will meet all your needs

according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19 (NIV) 

The verse above is a succinct summary of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Throughout this letter, Paul assures us that God has been working and will continue to work in our lives. Throughout this letter, he extols the virtues of God and sets our knowing Christ as our highest and most glorious ambition. He crowns this magnificent letter with the promise that God will meet our every need because God has an eternal supply of riches within the glory that is Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Paul also makes clear in this letter that God’s desire to come to us, to meet our needs, does not rest on the prerequisite of our faithfulness. God is faithful to us even when we are unfaithful because our relationship to Him is forever sealed through the faithfulness of Jesus. Do you remember our password to enter the Kingdom of God? We get in because Jesus said we may come.

The miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand is recorded in all four Gospels. Why did each author believe this miracle needed to be included in their record of Jesus’ life and ministry? Perhaps to illustrate the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:26, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Yes, Jesus is the Lord of the impossible.

My Takeaway: There are situations in my circle of friends and family that desperately need miracles. I want to trust that God who sees what I cannot, who understands what I do not, is moving in those circumstances out of the abundance of riches and glory in Jesus. My lack of faith wants to equivocate, to focus on what seems, humanly speaking, impossible. Rather, I want to focus instead on God, for whom everything is possible.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
