"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." (Philippians 4:23)

The basic form of today's verse appears 13 times in the New Testament. In Scripture, repetition is not for lack of something to say, but the Holy Spirit's intentional emphasis on something.

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

The key to this promise in today's verse is the need that must be met by the riches of the Great King as we render our service in His Kingdom. But how vast those needs can be and how different the supply is!

"I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God." (Philippians 4:18)

"Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction." (Philippians 4:14)
