the reason for the season

my God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.
- phil 4:19

Paul omits to describe the process. you gingerly take a quarter-step to find the ground does not shift away. you hesitantly proffer another half foot and will yourself to inch forward another crack. every bit you gain is painfully won from turmoil. it feels like living a perpetual shipwreck.

then one day you lift your head and realize, to your deepest amazement wonder and uncomprehending gratitude, that all your need has been supplied. not according to your need, but according to somebody's extravagant idea of incomprehensible generosity..

to our God and Father be glory forever and ever.
- phil 4:20
