Q4 (4:19-20) - Paul calls God here "my God" which we can also do if He is the only God we worship! And He will supply our every need as Paul discoverd, ( Philippians 4:16-18 ). Verse 19 -in glory- These words belong to the whole sentence. "Glory"is the element in which His rich grace operates;and it will be the element IN which HE will "supply fully all our needs."this is a promise we receive everyday, Praise God, AMEN!
