People think of their supply as coming from certain investments, or from a business, or from an employer, perhaps; whereas these are merely the channels through which it comes, God being the Source. A particular channel is likely to change, because change is the cosmic law for manifestation. Stagnation is really death; but as long as you realize that the Source of your supply is the one unchangeable Spirit, all is well. The fading out of one channel will be but the signal for the opening of another.
In its inner and most important meaning, our daily bread signifies the realization of the Presence of God—an actual sense that God exists not merely in a nominal way, but as the great reality; we can rely upon Him to supply all that we need to have; teach us all that we need to know; and guide our step so that we shall not make mistakes. This is Emanuel, or God with us.
But my God shall supply all your need…(Philippians 4:19).
All we need to tap into the ultimate supply is to rely on God, believe his word and act according to his will. This means, of course, sublimating our will and desires to God’s. That is easier said than done. But just as it is easier listening to music than playing it; the music of God attracts us then we are motivated to learn how to play it. The more we practice our music and our spirituality, the better we get, and the easier it gets. Then, we can share this beautiful music with others.
So, when we turn to God for our needs, they are met and we learn how to receive them and share them with others. This is how we live in the garden God created for us, and how our music draws others to the garden.
Playing God’s tune,
Z gardener
