A Rich Father — Part 2
“My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
Learn to accept your Father’s wisdom in this matter. He has promised to supply all our needs not all our wants. There is a vast difference in the two. So often we have trouble sorting out what are really needs, and what are just wants. But our Father knows and knows perfectly.
There is a day coming when the children of God are going to share in all the vast inheritance of creation, and a day when we will enter into and enjoy fully “the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8). “We are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ” (Romans 8:16-17).
In the meantime let’s be content with what He gives us, and thankful for what He withholds from us, knowing that He really does know what is for our best. He loves us so much, too much to give us everything we want!
Yes, indeed we have a rich Father, but He is also a wise Father. Don’t forget that very important truth.
