PROMISE FOR MAY 12TH

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

"What a glorious promise that is which Paul records in his letter to the ... Philippians.... That is a Divine promise, made to be kept.... It is my God who issued the promise; my own personal Father. He does not bind Himself to give me all I may lust after; not even all I may pray for. Many of my wants are purely artificial, and born of selfishness. I may crave wealth, and He may see that my soul would be richer if I were poor. I may ask for some promotion, and He may know that my way to holiness lies through a valley of humiliation and disappointment. So He only agrees to give me what I need, which is a very different thing from what I may be craving." (By T. L. Cuyler.) R. 572
