"Paul's Letter to the Philippians — All Our Need Met With His Sufficient Supply”

Today we reach the final verses in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. The apostle has just finished explaining how he has been initiated into trials that involve great losses even to the seeming necessities of life.  He had learned to be satisfied however with the Lord’s provision.  Now, at the end of his letter he powerfully applies the lessons he has learned to the Philippians with this precious promise in verse 19, “my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”.  With this ending, there is nothing else to say except to conclude with a remarkable double salutation in verses 20 and 23.  That final verse says it all:  “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.”  That even members of Caesar’s “household” (verse 22) testify to the same is most memorable.  What an encouragement for us in and through every trial!
