30 “The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man.”
Genesis 39:2
Such is the blessed estate of the Christian believer. We are supplied all our needs and more.
“My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
This is the deep promise of the living God that He will not see His people destitute or without sufficient supply. We can overly react to the prosperity gospel and throw the baby out with the bathwater and not see how our Lord supplies all our needs. The Lord is full of love towards His people and will meet all our needs in this world and the next.
Let us look to the needs of our souls and not just our temporal needs. We have deep needs of forgiveness and sanctification that need to be met every day and we do so by coming to the eternal Word. God will feed our deepest needs of heart and soul as we come to Him in deep contrition. This is our main need, more that our necessary food and the Lord will supply our want and fill us with good things from His Word.
Let us look for these deep spiritual blessings and earnestly desire them that we might grow in grace and in the knowledge of God. This is our most pressing need that we are right with Him and in fellowship, daily, with His Spirit. Let us eagerly desire the better things and not just the physical.
