"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).
The word of God tells us that Behold the birds of the sky, that the birds of the sky neither sow nor reap, however God provides for their needs. Brothers and sisters you are much more valuable than any creature that has created, Martin Luther commented on this verse that God provides food, but does not drop it in their beaks. God can use any avenue or any means to provide for you, but He is the ultimate Source behind every blessing. Your job or occupation is one avenue God can use to bless you. But, your job is not your source. God's plan for mankind is that we labor. So God will usually provide for us by giving us a good job, good health, and the ability to do that job. However, God is not limited to providing for you through a job. Even if you lose the job -- God is still your Source, and He will still provide for you. Even if you lose your health, God can and will still provide for you. (And He will also heal you, if you let Him.)
God can bless you through friends and relatives, but they are not your source. Even if they fail you or forsake you, God will not. God deserves credit and thanks for everything good that has
ever happened to you. He was behind it. God was the source of it. Was it a mother's love? God put that love in her for you. Was it the love of a spouse? God created that love. Every good thing in life owes its existence to God. We should thank God for every good thing, no matter how it seems to come to us. God moves on people and influences them to bless you. God causes situations to work out for your benefit. God is behind every blessing. So keep your eyes on God. Thank Him for every blessing, After all God says to us in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 that He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, this should give the believe hope for today and tomorrow and for the future.
