Goodness Unprecendented

So, just an update on how amazingly good God is to me:

I have been formally accepted to the Hillsong International Leadership College of the Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia.
I have never felt his ever present love, affection, and fathering then I have in the past few weeks.
Neither have I ever experienced the presence and power of Holy Spirit like I recently have.
People have been speaking some really cool and encouraging things over me, and I'm just filled with joy and contentment.
A sense of confidence, sonship, authority, and love like none other has been living in me. It's amazing. I keep stepping back and praying "God, I love this. You are so good! Please tell me this isn't a temporary thing. Please tell me I can walk in this every day."
I've been so blessed recently in my spiritual life. As I've been seeking him, praying through the day, worshipping through the day, and other things for him, he's been healing things and growing things inside my heart. It was part of a promise to me he made. Thank you Lord that you are faithful to fulfil every promise he makes to us. It reminds me of the verse in Matthew (Good book ;-) ) 6, verse 33 where Jesus says "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

Now, in the context that Jesus is referring to, he's talking about our needs (specifically clothing and food), but I believe that there's more to it than that. I believe that God provides for all our needs as we seek him first. I think that includes spiritual and emotional as well, and God always provides in abundance. God has always given me more than enough, he's never stingy or frugal in his provision. He is an abundant God, who provides for us in abundance!

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Phillipians 4:19 (NKJV)


Now, according to this verse, we see that God provides for us according to what he has access to, his supply. God's supply is endless and full to overflowing. So based upon these two verses we can say this: God provides all our needs abundantly, according to his riches, as we seek his kingdom first.
Am I wrong?

Thank you Jesus!
