"My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
Look at these words carefully. It does not say He will supply our wants. There are many things we want that God has not promised to give. It is our need, and all our need.
My children often want many things they do not get; but I supply all they need, if it is in my power to do it. I do not supply all their wants by any means. And so, though God may withhold from us many things that we desire, He will supply all our need. There can come upon us no trouble or trial in this life, but God has grace enough to carry us right through it, if we will only go to Him and get it. But we must ask for it day by day. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be."
