Watching God work
Over a year ago, faced with financial difficulties, I decided to pray about my negative view of the economy and employment. Each week I studied the Christian Science Bible Lesson and prayed to understand and prove supply to be a spiritual entity.
I turned to the Bible and read, “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these” (Luke 12:27). To me, that meant that the lilies do not have to look for beauty, purpose, or supply because it is already theirs from a divine source—God. Nothing is added to them nor taken from them; all their needs are met.
By striving to see employment, usefulness, and economy as spiritual qualities in my own thinking, I knew it would benefit my whole family. I read an article in the Christian Science Sentinel titled “Good Undivided,” by Peter J. Henniker-Heaton (March 20, 1976, p. 481), and it showed me that good doesn’t happen to some people but not to others. Because good is spiritual, it is undivided and universal. Goodness is like the air, available to everyone all the time.
