Fellowship of Joy: God’s Provision Philippians 4:10-23
Verse 19 is one of the favorite verses of prosperity gospel teachers. They hear “riches and glory” and thinks Rolexes and Benz’s. Paul knew nothing of this prosperity gospel. He writes from jail to a church that is likely facing sharp persecution and he is confident that God will provide all their needs according to God’s riches and glory. So clearly need is not defined here as comfortable circumstances and plenty of money. Given the context of contentment that Paul spoke of earlier, the primary focus is on God giving us the resources (spiritual and physical) necessary to rest and rejoice in Christ.
