God will Fully Supply Whatever you Need

 My God will fully supply whatever you need, 

in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 

PHILIPPIANS 4:19

The Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. He will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces; the reproach of His people He will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken. (Is 25:6-8)

Jesus said, “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.” (Mt. 22:4)

On that day it will be said: “Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that He has saved us!” (Is 25:9)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want (Ps 23:1). I know how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. (Phil 4:12-13)

Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for You are at my side with Your rod and your staff that give me courage. (Ps 23:4) You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come. (Ps 23:2-6)

SATISFIED AND HAVE GROWN RICH

You are already satisfied; you have already grown rich; you have become kings without us! Indeed, I wish that you had become kings, so that we also might become kings with you. -- 1 Corinthians 4:8

I shall not want . . .

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; He refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. (Psalm 23:1-3)

Jesus said, "If any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly"  (John. 10:9-10)




Pericope:
THE LORD, SHEPHERD AND HOST - Psalm 23:1-6

YEARS IN CONTENTMENT

If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment -- Job 36:11.

BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you". -- Hebrews 13:5

People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs (1 Tim. 6:9-10).

Jesus said, "The worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful (Mk. 4:19). Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Mt. 6:19-21).

A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat (Prv. 13:8). Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment (1 Tim. 6:17). A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished (Prv. 28:20).

"God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God" (Luke 12:20-21).

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint (Prv. 23:4). Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth (Dt. 8:18).

One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty (Prv. 11:24). One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth (Prv. 13:7). Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything (2 Cor. 6:10).

Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him ( James 2:5)? God bestows wealth on those who love Him and make their treasuries full (Prv. 8:21). He shows no partiality and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands (Job 34:19).

The LORD can give you much more than that (2 Chr 25:9). The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it (Prv. 10:2). The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity (Dt. 28:11). The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy (Gn. 26:13).

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Prv. 3:5).

I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IN ME

Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.

Jesus said "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father." -- John 14:8-12

HOW TO BE SATISFIED

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.  (Mt. 5:6).

There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world; but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content (1 Timothy 6:6-8).

Those who want to be rich are falling into temptation and into a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with may pains. (1 Timothy 6:9-10).

But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. (1 Timothy 6:11)
