Not in a crisis

President Obama and associates are using the word “crisis” frequently these days in reference to the economy. If one were to listen very attentively, one might start to believe lack and suffering are unavoidable and then live out those beliefs in their individual lives, even if not necessary.

Economic times are tough for many struggling with debt and searching for employment. But experience proves, one’s outlook has much to do with success.

Is the glass half empty or half full? The old proverbial question begs an answer.

If people en masse start buying into the belief that a crisis prevails, their common belief may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Thus the need to come out and be separate as the Apostle Paul tells us.

It helps to defend our thinking from popular thinking to protect our own demonstration of supply from being influenced by a false belief of lack.

If millions of people believe in crisis, it doesn’t mean there has to be suffering for everyone. Divine Mind, and not popular belief, governs the individual relying upon spiritual truth for guidance.

I remember back in the 1980s when the farming business went into a depression. And yes, the word depression was widely used in the farming industry then. Farmers went out of business by the tens of thousands across the country. Farm-aide programs started at that time.

Yet, the majority of farmers survived, and thrived after the period passed.

In looking back, my own family dealt with the so-called crisis from the point of view that it wasn’t a crisis, but a time to be a better farmer. We knew we had the infinite resources of divine Mind to draw upon for operating the family farm.

The resources of Mind are wisdom, intelligence, creativity, flexibility, adaptability, fresh inspiration, new ideas, and improved views. As we drew upon these divine resources, we saw ways to trim budgets, reduce debt, increase yield and make better use of our equipment. We became better farmers and set the operation up to prosper quickly once the worldwide belief of depression had faded.

The below quote by Mary Baker Eddy is pertinent to the spread of biological disease as well as economical disease. I find it quite relevant to economic fears spreading through the media today.

"The press unwittingly sends forth many sorrows and diseases among the human family. It does this by giving names to diseases and by printing long descriptions which mirror images of disease distinctly in thought. A new name for an ailment affects people like a Parisian name for a novel garment. Every one hastens to get it. A minutely described disease costs many a man his earthly days of comfort. What a price for human knowledge!" Mary Baker Eddy

With the onslaught of negative financial news pouring forth through the press, these are times to be extra diligent in understanding the truth about supply.

God is the source of our supply! God is never in crisis mode, and the divine Love that meets our every human need is always on the job providing the inspiration, insight and wisdom we need to keep our financial affairs in order.

God's love is unfailing. It is continuous and constant, without lapse, shortfall or delay. This consciousness of truth is not impressed by fears of lack, but experiences and enjoys the supply it acknowledges. It engages with supply-thinking, rather than crisis-thinking, for to this consciousness there is no crisis. It sees life as full of opportunities to progress and advance.

Enjoy your supply coming from God today!
