MY God (personal!) will supply every NEED (necessary for spiritual growth) according to HIS RICHES (unfathomable!) in glory in CHRIST JESUS (the Savior of the world!). I wrote in my journal next to this verse: “He never leaves me in want of His love, grace, guidance, presence. But I have to welcome Him—He does His part; I must do mine.” If I’m looking to the world for satisfaction and fulfillment, I’ll always be empty. One HE can fill me. I’ll end this foray through Philippians with the final verse in the book. Philippians 4:23, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” Amen.
