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.
