使我们充足并令我们知足。
Paul names three wonderful spiritual resources
that make us adequate and give us contentment.

3. 1) 神丰盛的供应 (腓4: 10)

- 神的供应表示神预先看见一切。
God’s providence simply means that God sees to it beforehand.

4. 2) 神无限的能力 (腓4: 4, 11-13)
The Unfailing Power of God (Phil. 4:4, 11-13)
- 除非我们凭信心支取神丰盛的资源，
否则我们就会被生活的压力击败。
Unless we draw on the deep resources of God by faith,
we fail against the pressures of life.

正在发芽或盛开。

flower or tree budding or blossoming.

项能获得丰厚利润的投资。
An investment (vv.14-17). Paul looked on their missionary gift as
