ALL I NEED
Today's reading: Jeremiah 14-15, Philippians 4, Proverbs 9:7-18

"At the moment I have all I need--more than I need! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable to God and pleases him." Philippians 4:18 NLT

Lord,

If Paul can write these words while sitting in a prison cell...

Able to tell his friends and his Christian-babies that 'all is well with his soul'...

If he can choose to see beyond his circumstances to his blessings...

Past his inconveniences to his eternal promises...

If Paul can stand solidly on the promises provided...

And the hope offered...

And the grace given...

And the forgiveness afforded him...

If in his dire circumstances, with the notes of his personal testimony still wet in ink, he can still say what he has said...

Then, I can also say, 'At the moment, I have all I need--more that I need!'

Because it's true. So true.
