And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19, ESV
This is not promising you will have all you ask for or think you need.
Remember, God’s primary aim is to glorify His name, and He will meet those needs that help us bring Him glory through sharing the Gospel.
(But he does like giving us good gifts, too!)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV
We ask God without knowing what He has for us. We fail to understand grace, peace, forgiveness, and eternity. Yet we think we know what to ask for in this life.
Seek first the Kingdom, and you will be amazed at what He does.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
James 4:3, ESV
Too many teach God wanting our happiness and to give us good things to make us comfortable.
God desires His Word to be shared to save the lost, and He gives us what we ask for to achieve that goal.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
John 15:7, ESV
Jesus is not saying that as a Christian you can ask for and get whatever you want or think you need.
Jesus is saying that the closer you are to Him, the more you will want what God wants, and you will get those things according to His will. (The full meaning of “in Jesus’ name” is to act in and take on the character of Jesus.)
‘Give us this day our daily bread.’
MATTHEW 6:11, NASB
All we have and receive comes from God.
Ask Him.
Trust Him.
He is our Provider.
One thing I have asked from the Lord , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.
Psalm 27:4, NASB
Our passion in life should be to see God enthroned in majesty. That only will happen when we get to hear “Well done.”
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5, NASB
One of the things God enjoys granting to people is wisdom. True wisdom leads to God and His righteousness as revealed in Christ.
