Philippians 4:19 “And my GOD will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in CHRIST JESUS.”
PreDefined Provision!
Want is the term for extraneous items.
Need — in contrast says, “Required!”
Definition translation then causes confusion which births conflicts most undesired.
But CHRIST reminds HE meets both Want and Need! So choose only HIS WORD…pre-defined!
As HIServant relying on HIS written WORD and definitions which align with HIS sovereignty,

Devotional: Philippians 4:11 “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.”
So! How do you personally define “Provision”? AND!
How much is “want” and how much is “need”?
If we look at the life of Paul after his conversion, he had a ton of unfulfilled “needs” as we’d define them today.
But again…what did he say in Philippians 4:19?
That GOD was supplying ALL of his needs!
And Philippians 4:11 states that whether we think we want or need something more, what HE has supplied IS sufficient!
Therefore, because of GOD’s perfect WORD, we can attain perfect contentment at every level and all degrees of provision!
Its not only possible but it’s also the best choice for us.
To then be content with Today and whatever Tomorrow brings…
To be focused on our Provider instead of ourselves,
We can safely trust HIS definitions of what’s “best” for us!
Our treasure is in Heaven; our hope is the LORD! Nothing else compares to the promise we have in HIM.
HE’s our CREATOR and Completion! Hallelujah!
Amen and amen!
