Philippians 4:19

My God. — The expression is emphatic. St. Paul had accepted the offerings as made, not to himself, but to the God whose minister he was. Hence he adds, “my God” — the God, whom ye serve in serving me.

All your need. — Properly, every need of yours, spiritual and temporal.

In glory. — We have already noticed the constant reference to “glory” in the Epistles of the Captivity. Where the word relates to God in Himself, His “glory” is His true nature as manifested to His creatures; where it refers to man, “glory” is the perfection of man’s nature in the communion with God in Heaven. Here the latter sense is obviously to be taken. The “supplying of every need out of the riches” of God’s love can only have its consummation in the “glory” of the future. That it is “in Christ Jesus” is a matter of course; for He is to “change even our body of humiliation to be fashioned like unto the body of His glory” (Philippians 3:21).
