And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

“Give place, then, to Christ, but deny entrance to all others, for when you have Christ you are rich and He is sufficient for you. He will provide for you. He will supply your every want, so that you need not trust in frail, changeable men. Christ remains forever, standing firmly with us to the end.”

Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471) in The Imitation of Christ (Grand Rapids, CCEL), p. 42.

People who put their trust in people are destined for disappointment. Why7 People are frail and changeable.

But when we put our trust in God, we have access to the riches of heaven and can count on abundant provision.

I am en route home from an indescribably good time of service in Pakistan. I’ll share more later.

For now, affirm your trust in Christ and celebrate that He will stand firmly with you to the end.
