Finding peace in the divine economy
Originally published in The Christian Science Monitor’s Christian Science Perspective column May 20, 2025.
As global markets rise and fall, it’s natural to wish for the security of a steady sense of supply. But this can feel beyond reach. However, there is such a supply available. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of The Christian Science Monitor and author of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, offers this encouraging idea: “Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear from the nature of its inexhaustible source” (p. 507).
What a beautiful promise! Who wouldn’t want to be more keenly aware of this inexhaustible source of supply that meets daily needs? God’s giving is the well that never runs dry.
Perpetual divine provision isn’t an anomaly or unique to a certain group of people. Regardless of the circumstance, God, Spirit, is the one creator, and God’s creation is spiritual and abundant. Thus, we can put our trust in “things above,” not in “things on the earth” (Colossians 3:2). Opening our thoughts and hearts to this pouring out of God’s goodness melts fear and brings us into limitless “green pastures” (Psalms 23:2).
