Our Deep Pocket God
   “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NLT
     Although He has never appeared on Forbes magazine’s “richest men in the world” rankings, God has deeper pockets than the combined pockets of everyone on the list.
     Not only are God’s pockets deep, but His arms are long.  He can dig down and reach out to anyone and everyone at the same time.
     God not only owns the cattle on a thousand hills; He has also cornered and stockpiled all of the world’s treasures of grace and mercy.
     God’s pockets are so deep; He has supplied every person on this earth with every dollar they own.  No one has anything even life itself that they have not been given by the providence of or permissive will of God.
     The lofty aim of liberal, socialistic, or communistic government is to redistribute wealth by taking from the rich and giving to the poor. 
     God makes people rich and gives them more and more, so they can be more and more generous to the poor. 
     Our deep-pocket God is the God of abundance.  When He gives us an overflow of treasures, it’s so that we can be generous to others on all occasions.
     When God gives us an abundance of talents, it’s so that we can be generous in using these talents to glorify Him and serve others.
     The abundance of God’s power and strength is legendary.  He covers our weaknesses, enables the blind to see, the lame to walk, and raises all who call upon His name from death into life everlasting.
     God’s arms are never too short for us, and ours should never be too short in reaching out to Him.
     Our deep-pocket God has promised to supply all of our needs out of the richness of His grace.
   Father, thank you for letting me live richly drawing on the deep pockets of  Your love, grace, and mercy. In Jesus' name, Amen.
