ACTION & REACTION
KIM POTTER, DAYTON, TN
"Before every reaction there is first an action." This is what God spoke to me this morning as I was studying the book of Philippians.
I want to talk with you about a very familiar Scripture from the Amplified Bible. It is found in Philippians 4:19: "And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
This is one of our go to Scriptures! Many of us pray this Scripture over ourselves quite frequently. It is the truth of the Word of God. Our God shall supply all our needs. I am so thankful for that, aren’t you?
Now, let’s back up a little bit. Let’s look at verses 15-18:
"And you Philippians know that in the early days of preaching the Gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I do seek the profit which increases to your [heavenly] account [the blessing which is accumulating for you]. But I have received everything in full and more; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. They are the fragrant aroma of an offering, an acceptable sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights."
You see, we cannot claim the promise for ourselves, without first meeting the requirement. Before His reaction, there must be an action on our part.
God supplied their needs. It was His reaction to their giving which had come up as a fragrant offering to God. When you give it comes up as a fragrant offering to God as well. And it increases your heavenly account each and every time you give. Each time we give to the Lord, increase accumulates for us. That, my friends, is good news!
Luke 6:38, in the Amplified Bible, says, “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”
I love this Scripture and I love that is says with no space left for more! Are you there yet? I know I am not. Therefore, I will continue to give liberally as the Lord leads me. I will sow and sow knowing my heavenly account is increasing. I will give cheerfully, knowing a blessing is accumulating on my behalf.
Friends, we all want God to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, and we have a right to that...if we continue to give.
I think it is interesting that the writer shared that no church gave to him other than the one. Oh my, how sad is that? But thank God that there is always the one. Not everyone will receive the promise of God supplying all their needs. Why? Because we must first be doers of the Word of God and not hearers only. When we do what the Word says concerning giving THEN God supplies all our needs.
Before every reaction there must first be an action. The action is up to us. The reaction comes from God alone.
