We know God will provide because Paul declares it in Philippians 4:19, supported by his own experiences of God's faithfulness.
The certainty of God’s provision comes from both Scripture and the testimonies of God’s people. In Philippians 4:19, Paul expresses his confidence that God will meet all the needs of the church at Philippi, based on his own life experiences of God's faithfulness during times of want and abundance. This confidence is not just words but based on a personal relationship with the Lord, who has proven time and again to be a trustworthy provider. Moreover, the context of the promise includes a reminder of the church's past obedience and generosity, suggesting that God’s provision often aligns with our spiritual fidelity and reliance on Him.
