Beyond Measure
And my God will meet all your needs
according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Phl. 4:19)
This verse reminds me the abundance of God’s gifts for us and just how sufficient He is for all our needs.
In one of my should-be-less-frequent study breaks, I came across a music video by Jeremy Camp entitled “Beyond Measure”. As I glanced over the comments over the course of the song, I learned that He wrote the song short after the death of his wife. Upon that realization, I became especially awe-struck by this part of the lyrics:
Everything that I have
Has been given so unselfishly
And shown that even when I don’t deserve
You always show the fullness of your love
Even when the sky would fall, and the worst things imaginable dawn upon us, God’s love never fails. The imagery of the song writer composing the lyrics of this song, having reminded the reader that God’s grace and love are sufficient for all his needs, is simply beautiful, encouraging, and commendable. And from our Philippians study, we know that “…whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Let us then be reminded that He is all we need, and let us dwell in that reminder. =)
