Choosing to live set apart is beautiful. It is a quiet declaration saying, “Your ways are better than mine. Therefore, I choose you, Jesus, over the world.”

Limitless Riches

Writing from prison to the believers in Philippi, the apostle Paul divulged that he’d learned the secret to being content—no matter the situation. 

Because of the faithfulness of God and the generosity of the Philippians, Paul’s needs had been met—even while in jail. He went on to say:

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬

What an incredible perspective from captivity—where Paul was placed for spreading the truth about Jesus.

God had given Paul peace, his friends had sent supplies, and Paul’s joy was unapologetically obvious—despite his imperfect circumstances. 

Paul knew that the same God who was taking care of Him would also take care of his friends. He knew that, because Jesus had already made a way, they could access the storehouses of heaven. He knew that, because of God’s generous character, they were covered in His grace.

Have you ever considered what a treasure trove of riches God has? And it’s not just what He has, but also who He is. God’s glorious riches, never-ending resources, and both visible and invisible qualities are limitless, bottomless, boundless, and inexhaustible. 

Think about that for a moment.

The amazing thing is—He’s granted us access. 

In His kindness, God fashioned raspberries and puppies. In His brilliance, He crafted the human eye and hung the earth on nothing. By His creativity, He made hammerhead sharks and sparkling fireflies. By His power, He designed galaxies that even the smartest of scientists are just now discovering.

The same God who cares for His creation will also provide for you.

When we become His children, we are given the key to eternal riches, to incorruptible goods, and to traits of His Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Do you need peace? You have a God who brings peace. Do you need provision? You have a God who offers provision. Do you need rest? You have a God who extends rest.

The ways in which God shows up are literally countless, and it’s all because of His gloriously limitless riches.

today’s verse of the day.

see more for my thoughts: 

Time and time again throughout history we see ‘Christians’ committing all sorts of atrocities. I cannot excuse those acts.

All I can say is I wholeheartedly believe in the love, and the power of said love, as described in the Bible. That is true love. This is the love that is representative of God:

Patient;

Kind;

Not envious;

Not boastful;

Does no dishonour to others;

Not self-seeking;

Does not rejoice in evil;

Rejoices in the truth;

Always protects and lifts up;

Always trusts and believes;

Always hopes;

Always endures and perseveres;

Never fails.

Any act done in the name of God, or Jesus, that does not align with these, was not done in love. And thus, I believe, should not be accounted to him - for God is love (1 John 4: 8).

Thank you 1 Corinthians 13, for reminding us that though mankind will always fail, love - God’s love - never will.
