But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
-Philippians 4:19
The depth of your need regulates the level of God’s supply. The more need you have, the more possibility and potential there is for God to supply. He can’t meet a need that doesn’t exist.
So often our prayers revolve around reducing and eliminating the physical, emotional, and financial needs in our lives. If our prayers were answered, and our needs vanished, we would forfeit the opportunity to ever receive from God again. He can only fill empty vessels.
Our needs create demand. Demand creates supply. God’s supply is endless, and He measures out His resources on the basis of our capacity to receive.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
If you want more of God, you need more need.
