A woman asked me, “How does God know my need?”

I answered, “How does the principle of mathematics know your need when you work out a math problem?”

Understanding how the divine hand doles out blessings has everything to do with properly understanding what God is in the first place.

God is not a mortal in the sky monitoring every human activity on the globe and acting capriciously. God is a divine Principle that produces all right action.

When a musician writes a melody, he or she relies upon the principle of harmony to compose their piece. The laws of harmony, when properly followed, produce beautiful music.

Jesus said, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”

How?

By knowing ahead of time every possible need you could ever have, and by building into the design of Life a supply that meets those needs when and if they ever arise. Our job is to follow the laws of life that enable the supply to manifest itself, just like following the laws of mathematics when working out a math problem.

Anytime we see lack, we’re not seeing a fixed fact. We’re entertaining a limited finite view of the superabundant life God has given us to experience. As we see beyond the limited view to the unlimited reality, the provision we thought was missing becomes apparent.
