Philippians 4:19 - All Our Needs Fulfilled in Christ.
Philippians 4:19 (NIV) And my God will meet
all your needs according to his glorious riches
in Christ Jesus.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Last Sunday, as I headed across the
parking lot after church, a woman I hadn't seen for
a while walked ahead of me. I caught up and
asked the too-traditional question, "How are you
doing?"
She answered, "Great okay, there's
more behind that response." Her smile didn't
fade, but her voice had dropped by several
decibels. She explained that life was great only
because Jesus is good, not because her circumstances
were. She'd been betrayed, made bad relationship
choices when she thought that Jesus wasn't enough,
and she was still recovering from recently
distancing herself from her bad choices, still choking
on the fallout. But her confidence in the
goodness of Jesus had been strengthened in the
process. She could say with conviction that He'd
proved Himself more than enough, even when everyone
else - and her own decisions - disappointed her.
Many of us can point to a time when life
around us crumbled - financially, physically,
relationally - but during that season we learned with
greater clarity to embrace the wonder that Jesus is
the only truth that never lets us down, abandons
or disappoints us.
In some ways, my church friend represents
thrill seekers everywhere - those convinced the
things that thrill the human heart are worldly
experiences, possessions, or other human beings. Jesus
holds us tightly while we discover the truth -
sometimes at great cost - proving again and again that
He is not just more than enough but all we will
ever need. Cynthia Ruchti
Faith Step: The next time someone asks
how you're doing, respond with "Great!" to match
your conviction - because of Jesus. [Walking in
