As Paul prepares to convey his final thoughts to his Philippian readers, he desires that the believers would serve the Lord with unhindered confidence in His care for them. For this purpose, Paul reminds them that the God they serve is faithful to supply His people with everything they need to carry out Christ’s mission in the world. The more that Christians trust in God’s power and experience His provision, the more deeply and fully they will encounter the generous heart of their loving Father.
