Philippians 4:19 - Every need. Every single one.

"But my God will fill up every need of you according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."  

-One of the greatest promises in Scripture, this.  Every single one of your needs and my needs will be completely filled up.  It is a future fact, we can bank on it, because God Himself has tied Himself to it.  We’re not talking about merely scraping by either - the measure of the promise is every need completely filled up, and that out of the glorious riches of God Himself, Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills - on every hill in fact - and everything else to boot.  No pauper, this One. He made all things, nothing has come into being that He did not make, it is all His.  He says, ‘it is Mine.’ (Exodus 19.15, Job 41.11, Psalm 50.10-12, Haggai 2.8).  More than that, He says the same of us - ‘you are Mine.’ (Isaiah 43.1, Ezekiel 18.4, Malachi 3.17).  What need will we ever have that the Lord is not only able to meet but also ready and eager to fully supply?  God is not a miser.

-We need to take a breath and take this all in, everything that Paul has been saying in this section.  All things.  Every need.  All your requests.  Surely we are living in the neighborhood of hypocrisy when we ask for so little and our lives have so little of a hint of the supernatural about them.  And we're not talking about asking for ourselves, for the stuff of temporal wants - we're talking about living into the greater works, about the forward progress of the Good News and the glory of God into the lives of my neighbors and into every nation on earth.  This is why our God, the God of breathtaking goodness, wants to bless His people.  And He has tied Himself to some magnificent promises in connection with that.  O, may He give us the grace to really believe and to really walk in step with the One Who whose steps led to a hill called Calvary but Who now has overcome the world, has all power in the world, and Who is sending His own into all the world to gather the nations to Himself.

-It is important to note that in connection with this promise we are not provided with some kind of standardized baseline supply list.  Nor are we given any kind of a specified delivery date.  It is safe to say that generally speaking, if at present I do not have something then I apparently don’t need it, at least not for the moment.  If one is inclined to debate the definition of a specific need and its relationship to a promise of divine provision, I would suggest that the matter be taken up directly with the One Who has actually made the promise... (which is probably the end goal of the promise anyway).
