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).
On this day, the beginning of Lent, let each of us look into our souls and our hearts to find those things that still need to be addressed if we are to follow God’s will and live in the Eden God created for us.
And, during this Lenten season let each of us redouble our efforts to care for the needy, lift up the fallen and stand up for the oppressed. Let us be an example of the light that came into the world as we search out the darkness within us. Then, when Easter comes, may we all arise with the resurrected Christ in light; so that we may walk with God in love, hope and peace each day.
Looking in,
Z gardener
