What a comfort and encouragement this verse has been to God’s people through the years. And while most people think of it in connection with material things (and Paul was speaking of such in the context), the verse applies to “all your need” of every kind. We may need material supply, and “the Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” We may need comfort or encouragement, and we find Him to be “the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” We may need help to endure continuing trial or weakness, and we learn that “He giveth more grace” and that “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” We may need guidance, and His promise is that “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.” There are times when we need chastening, “for whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.” Whatever the need in our lives, “my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” and “they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.”
From all “His riches in glory,”
He promises our supply;
For the sake of Christ our Savior
”No good thing” will He deny.
