Riches in Glory

Phil 4:19

My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Glory.

This verse is always given out when someone is in distress or suffering and it covers a myriad of problems. I have given it out often in an effort to encourage. But when you are the one in stress and the phrase 'according to His riches in Glory ' comes; it sometimes, to me, seems like an 'apple pie in the sky' thing. Like... where are the riches, and what does in 'His glory' mean?

Look up the glory of God. Notice how often we are involved in that glory. We do not produce the glory we show the glory and we are mentioned often in relationship to the Glory of God. Is it possible that we, in response to the Spirit of God, deliver the riches of His glory to meet the need in someones life? That we become an answer to prayer.

I do believe that miracles happen and that God supernaturally supplies. I remember in church one year a Chinese couple related their plight to flee from communism. During their travels on foot, he asked God to supply food for them(she was pregnant). He fashioned a fish hook from a safety pin and each day caught the same fish from different places. God supplied their need through his riches in Glory. In this case the world around them.

Yes, I do believe that God will supply by any means He chooses. But what a blessing to be that means, to be 'the riches according to God's glory'. Even a cup of cold water will not go unnoticed if that is your opportunity.

My this day bring the 'Riches of God's Glory' to meet your need and may you be the 'Riches of his Glory' to meet another need.
