"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
Philippians 4:19 NKJV
As we serve and bless God, He in return will bless us. People in the UK today, are concerned about what the Budget will bring forth - higher tax, lower wage, higher economy, pensions hacked etc. But, if we have placed God in His rightful place, in our hearts, we can face and overcome anything that is thrown at us.
We are not full of fear, we're full of Jesus and He will never let us down. As we give to Him - our everything, including our money, He will ensure that we are ok. Mind you, we must notice that this verse is not a written assurance that we can spend, spend, spend selfishly because we know God will supply some more. It doesn't work like that. We need to be sure that we don't take this verse out of context. Paul was referring to the people giving to him and to others to bless and provide for them when they were needy; and this is what God means here. We should also make sure that we honour God with our wealth by tithes and offerings. After all, He has given to us and we should reciprocate.
When we bless God and others in such a way as this, the blessing and the miracle comes our way and our needs are met. So, if we play our part, God will play His as well. He is not concerned about what governments will do at all. They may raise taxes, chop pensions and raise mortgages and this may make us fret. But it doesn't cause Jesus to fret at all. He is in charge. He has made provision for us and will continue to do so and it's like He says 'If you will, I will.'
If you are honouring God with your wealth, there is no need to be anxious for anything. Jesus is in charge and will continue to be so forevermore. Just remember:
'Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things'. Philippians 4:6-7
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
