Philippians 4: 19. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  I am your Heavenly Father, who delights in providing for you. Don't be anxious about having enough money to pay your bills. If you simply trust Me. I will take complete care of you. Besides, what good will worry bring? Does it benefit you to be concerned about your home, clothes, food, or finances?    Watch the birds of the air-they never lack because I make sure they are well provided for. If this is how I take care of even the tiniest bird, how much more will I provide for you? You are so much more valuable to Me. Yet aren't the animals and plants in this world well cared for? My child, never doubt a moment that I will provide much more for you.    So don't worry about material things, for the world spends so much time and energy seeking them, and I am well aware of what you need. Instead, seek first to promote My kingdom. Seek first My righteousness. This means to conform your life to My Will in your thoughts, words, and actions. Then I will bless your life with all these other things. Yes, I will make sure that your every need is abundantly supplied.    Scripture Reading   Psalm 35: 27. Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.''   Matthew 6: 25. "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?  26. "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?  27. "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  28. "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  29. "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  30. "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31. "Therefore do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' 32. "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.   >Romans 14: 17. for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.   2 Timothy 2:22. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.   Prayer   Lord, forgive me for worrying about my finances; instead, help me remember that You are my Provider. I know that if You care for the tiniest bird, You will also provide for me. I will seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness by trusting You to conform me to Jesus' image by the power of Your Spirit. As I seek to become more like Him in my thoughts, words, and actions. I know You will bless my life in all areas. I will trust You to abundantly supply my needs, just as You promised. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
