People sometimes have difficulty understanding how the infinite resources of divine Love pay bills and meet human needs.
Christian Science explains that we live in a universe of Mind where things are thoughts and ideas are substance.
The human mind misinterprets God’s resources. The material mind says, “God’s resources are paychecks and currency, stocks and bonds, meat and bread. And then it strives to accumulate these material things in order to have supply. But the premise and the goal are misinformed.
God’s resources are spiritual. They are ideas, wisdom, inspired insight, and intelligent action, an attitude humble enough to listen and follow God’s direction, a willingness to admit mistakes and correct them, an unending expectancy of good, unwavering love. Everyone has equal and free access to these resources and the ability to put them to profitable use.
To understand that God’s resources are spiritual and available at all times makes fearing lack impossible.
It’s like having ten billion dollars in the bank and incurring modest expenses for daily living. You might have $100 in your wallet that you spend at the grocery store. But when the $100 is spent, you have no fear of lack in your wallet because you have ten billion dollars in your bank account to draw upon before your next trip to the market.
It’s the same with drawing upon God’s infinite resources. The resources of divine Love may look like a $100 bill one day, but they are not. The resources are always further inspiration, wisdom and love coming from God that causes you to make intelligent decisions in your everyday business transactions that in turn lead to daily supplies. The resources are always of divine Mind, never of matter, and they never run out. They are infinite, inexhaustible.
Draw upon the “ten billion dollars,” you have in the bank with God today. It’s not deposited down at the local Wells Fargo bank. It’s sitting in divine Mind, and it’s yours to use freely and abundantly.
Enjoy the wealth.
Love this, Evan! Thanks!
I presonally seem to always really appreciate posts about meeting ones supply. I guess because I need to work that out as demonstration more in my life. I have always just seemed to have survived…gotten by…and I used to think that was “enough” but I think we should live with “a sense of abundance” and have that reflected in our day to day “feeling” and also have that reflected in our economic existance as well. Just scrapping by and “being humble” about our income. that just doesnt seem right? Sometimes it would be really nice to have some coin in bank, to access in ones up and down life…in this world…etc
so i will cultivate this “sense of abundance” and an “expectancy of good” and apply thought to supply as being spiritual, and meeting my needs is not just enough, I should be satisfied (a bit more, to tuck away and a bit more to enjoy some more of the things availalbe along the journey in this world).
C’est la vi

I, too, love this, Evan! And am sharing it with some family members today as it meets their specific needs immediately. So love and appreciate your blog!
The Bible Lesson this week on Love is full of big words that shout God’s abundance for man:
showers of blessings
big with blessings
I shall not want (for anything good)
and so on. We shouldn’t just scrape by. God’s children have the magnificence, the grandeur, the amplitude, of God’s love. Our human experience is the manifestation of our thought. Knowing God as the source of all good, (not just a little bit of good, but ALL good) we should have lives filled to the brim with goodness. Love this, Evan.
Loved this post. What stood out to me today was that “intelligent action” is one of God’s resources, too. Action is not my separate responsibility, based on my interpretation of God’s inspiration. In the Allness of God, everything I need is supplied. Nothing is left up to fallible mortal mind. Very freeing!

Abundance and infinite supply of good, wonderful thoughts! Thank you for sharing Ann.
Oh yes, the Big Subject: Supply. Human beings seem to
be so hooked on matter, on material evidence, thus lack
is feared, and fears are seen, and the loop seems to go on and on. Mary Baker Eddy cuts this loop, when her
writings are studied and grasped in some degree. She
wrote, “Mortal mind sees what it believes as certainly as it believes what it sees. It feels, hears, and sees its own thoughts.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pg. 86)
So the belief (or conviction) of lack produces the evidence…thus the loop. But, the divine
Mind, our divine intelligence, is HERE for us to access, to
correct this errors of belief, these misconceptions. When the happens, in proportion does thought open to …”the kingdom of heaven,” all good, at hand!
Let’s stop focusing on 2+2=5, if we want the correct
answers.
We CAN do this, because MInd, God, is overturning, overturning…mortal belief.
