The Pursuit of Happiness Daily Devotional -42

by David Joynt on February 13, 2021


PHILIPPIANS 4:19 | 19 And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

My father used to say “it is impossible to out give God!” He is the giver of every good and perfect gift. He is the Author of life and the Savior of it. He is the inventor of beauty, truth, and love. His providential care opens up opportunities and possibilities. His gifts, in us and to us, make possible all our achievements.

Our generosity is founded on His in several ways. His generosity to us, in hundreds of instances, makes possible our success and provides our resources. But further, our confidence in His ability to resupply us allows us to become generous to others. We can’t out give God.

How confident are you in God’s provision?
