Have you ever found unexpected help arriving just when you thought all was lost? Such moments remind us that we are never truly alone, especially in our darkest hours.
This sentiment echoes in the story of the Philippians and Paul. The Philippians generously provided Paul with financial support and sent him gifts while he was in prison. In his conclusion of thanks to the Philippians, Paul encouraged them with the confidence that God would meet their needs through their sacrifice and generosity. When we gift others, we are investing in the account we have with God, who, as our Banker, will add interest to our accounts. We are assured that God will repay the generous according to His abundant wealth because He is pleased when we use the resource He provided for His purpose. 
Not only can we trust God will always meet our physical needs, but we can also trust Him with our spiritual needs. God has given us freedom through the salvation of Jesus Christ. He has sent the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, and help us whenever and wherever we need. Because of Jesus, we have the Father as our Supplier, and all God’s gifts come to us through Him. By putting our faith in Him, we can enjoy God’s abundance.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for supplying me with everything I need. Only You know what I need the most. I believe You always have my best interest at heart. Lord, open my eyes to see the many ways You are blessing me and graciously pouring the abundance into my life. I am so blessed with Your mighty love. Help me to use the resources You provided wisely and do what pleases You. 
Lord, please grant me the love to support others when they are in need, embodying Your compassion and kindness in all that I do.
 Lord, please open my lips that I might share the stories of how You've delivered me through the hands of others. Let me offer strength to those who hear and glorify Your name in the telling.
In Jesus's name, I pray. Amen.
