Balance

So often we set an intention and suddenly the universe challenges us on our new resolve. Do you ever find this?

Let me give you an example.
I set an intention to release my belief in lack and began September's blogs on this theme so I might be mindful of what I believe and be in integrity with it. Already I find myself challenged by unexpected expenses; my cat needed x-rays this weekend and my car is seeing a mechanic tomorrow. Immediately I could begin to claim "I cant afford this," "I just cant get ahead," "I'm sure as heck not feeling abundant!!"  etc.

Thankfully I am a Practitioner of the Science of Mind and I may momentarily respond that way but very quickly I remember what I have stated as my belief. I believe I am One, as the wave on the ocean with God/Spirit. Spirit is infinite and abundant in all things. My source is not external to me, it is not a bank account or a job, it is Spirit. That being so, I trust that by winding passages or straight, I don't have to know the HOW, Spirit supplies my need.  I believe the activity of Spirit is always harmonious and balanced. Therefore I am a center for the expression of Balance in my financial affairs. I can pay my bills right now and be assured that whatever comes I can handle it too because I am a portal for Spirit's wealth.

A bit like Jesus isolated and fasting in the desert, being tempted by Satan offering all manner of power and false alternatives, he knew his Origin and his Power and did not accept what was seeming to be offered. Appearances are deceiving, and I do not accept the false belief in lack. At times like these I find its best to close ones eyes and meditate on the Truth. Give it a try, I find it works wonders!!
