Philippians 4:19 - this one is worth memorizing! "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Shall we pull this one apart a little? It's personal: notice the word, 'my'. It's positive: God will (not may, or could - will). It's specific: all your needs. It's plentiful: "His glorious riches". And it's powerful: in Christ Jesus. That word 'according' is interesting to me. As rich and wonderful as Jesus is, that is the resource for our needs to be met. Wow!

Are you lacking abundance right now? What kind of abundance do you need? Abundant joy? Check out Psalm 36:8. Abundant life? John 10:10. Abundant grace? 2 Corinthians 9:8. Abundant power? Ephesians 3:20. Abundant acceptance? 2 Peter 1:11. Look up some of these verses. I'll bet you'll sleep better tonight. See if you can say Philippians 4:19 from memory when you close your eyes....
