This is such an important point. The “year of drought” comes to each of us in different ways. Whether it appears as a lack of money, lack of joy, lack of purpose, lack of a job, lack of companionship, or lack of health, the list could go on and on.
I looked up the word “careful” in Websters 1828 dictionary, and the first two definitions were “anxious” and “solicitous.” Interesting.
This means that the man who trusts his welfare to God is not going to get anxious about an apparent lack and he is not going to solicit someone else to try to get what he thinks he needs. Learning to trust in divine Love, divine Principle, divine Life for our needs, our God provides them. Sometimes I am surprised to find God providing my need in a totally unexpected way. Other times I find that what I thought I needed, I did not need at all.
This is the beauty of getting human will and material wants out of the way. A good and infinite God knows no lack and does not leave any of His creation without everything we need. We just need to open our eyes to this fact and trust Him only. This is the basis of Christian healing. Life can’t get any better than that.
It is one of God’s promises that we can count on. It is also a warning not to make a god out of anything or anyone else. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
