Under God’s Government

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1. This verse from the Bible assures me of God’s supreme power. I have also learned through Christian Science that He is Love, infinite, divine, eternal.

In my daily living, I see clearly that as I live, desiring to obey God’s laws, as best I can, and seek His guidance in all areas of my life, I gain a sounder, peaceful, and more harmonious means of self-government. Here are some thoughts I go over often to make sure I am allowing the All-seeing power to govern me:

Who am I trusting, what am I leaning on; since to trust and rely on God brings blessings every day.

What He wants me to have, I will have, because He gives to all His children.

What He wants me to know, I will know, because He is the source of intelligence.

Where He wants me to be, I will be, because He knows where I should be.

What He wants me to do, I must and will do, because He has given me talents that He knows how and where I can best use them, to glorify His name and bless mankind.

There is no other government that can lead us to a higher sense of our individuality and dominion, our true freedom, than the government of Truth of which Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health, page 180: 25-27: “When man is governed by God, the ever-present Mind who understands all things, man knows that with God all things are possible.”

“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. … The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:7
