Read Matthew 6:16-23.
If your consciousness is right, that is, if you have a good understanding of God as the loving Source of your boundless supply, you will always be able to demonstrate whatever money or goods you may require. You cannot want for anything when once you truly realize that in divine Mind demand and supply are one. And, on the contrary, until you do realize this, you never will be really safe from want. In the long run, no one can retain what does not belong to him by right of consciousness, nor be deprived of that which is truly his by the same supreme title.
If you are looking to outer, passing, mutable things for either happiness or security, you are not putting God first. If you are putting God first in your life, you will not find yourself laboring under undue anxiety about anything, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:21).
This is not to say that we can ignore our worldly needs, responsibilities or duties by claiming God is first in our lives. It is to say that when we truly put God first, we will receive that which we need to be free of want, anxiety and fear. When we put God first, we then act as God instructs us and all things, including our thoughts, words and deeds, will yield to our faith.
The result is that we then do the work, exert the discipline and overcome the self. Then we are freed from the yoke of fear, lack and the material desires that burden us. It is then that we overcome the physical self and God’s will becomes the object of our desires. Then we are free to hope, believe and expect that God will provide all that we need when we need it to be safe, fulfilled and secure. That is when we are able to live in the Garden and thank God for all our treasures including the roses and the thorns.
