The One who Cares for my Every Need

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:19

The last few weeks, since we got home from our holiday in Shetland, have been a lot. As much as I love going on holiday, I often find that coming back from holiday I feel overwhlemed by everything going on in life.

In times when life feels overwhelming, it can easy to think all the struggles and the worries and responsibilities are all on my shoulders. I'm definitely the kind of person who has a tendency to want to carry the weight of everything, and the longer I do that, the worse I end up feeling.

So when I read this verse last week (it happened the be the verse of the day on the Bible app last Wednesday), it was like the medicine I needed. I don't need to do anything alone, I don't need to bear the weight of everything that's going on in my life or elsewhere, because my God will meet all my needs. And He will do so with all the riches of the glories of Jesus Christ.

In a world where it is so easy to feel overwhelmed, where I am so guilty of leaning on my own strength, I am reminded that I need to lean on Him, the glorious King on the throne, who will meet all my needs.
