Limitless Riches, November 15
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon From the book: Faith's Checkbook
"My God shall supply all your need according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19
PAUL'S God is our God, and He 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 receptical 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.

What a blessing it is to remember that God's character is to take good care of His children in any way, shape or form. Praise Him for the Joy He gets when providing us with what will grow us in our walk with Him and in our faith. "I think we're silly when we think we need a lot when we have all that we need in Christ." - Amber Uddin. Remember that the riches of this world will all fade away, we should be seeking to store up treasures in Heaven and use the riches down here for the glory of God. Grace&Peace.
