A mom's thoughts on supply

Tiffany Green

Behind my desk at work there is a saying carved into the wood mantel of the fireplace. It reads, “Supply precedes demand.” The divine law of supply and demand has been a recurring source of inspiration to me throughout my life.

In college my financial situation caused me to reach out to God constantly. I couldn’t pay my monthly credit card bills and at one point had no money even to buy soap. But with humble prayers and constant watching of my thought, a solution always appeared, the bills were paid, and I was able to get that soap! After college I prayed about supply when it came to employment and housing. Both needs were met beautifully. There were wonderful lessons learned about reliance on God—trusting His care, turning away from what my circumstances were telling me was true, and exercising true spiritual insight and discipline.
