Neither Be Ye of Doubtful Mind

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

    From Webster 1828 some descriptive word and phrases:
    1. To waver or fluctuate in opinion; to hesitate; to be in uncertainty; to be in suspense; to be in uncertainty, respecting the truth or fact; to be undetermined.
    2. To fear; to be apprehensive; to suspect.

    1. To question, or hold questionable; to withhold assent from; to hesitate to believe; as, I have heard the story, but I doubt the truth of it.

    3. To distrust; to withhold confidence from; as, to doubt our ability to execute an office.

    I now know it was too much doubting that kept me in bondage to fear for so long. I am certain that David when he was so distressed by the Amalekites but “encouraged himself in the Lord his God” recalled the many times God had protected him, guided him, provided for him and with gratitude and reverence for what God has done had increased faith to follow when the direction came to pursue the Amalekites. Aren’t we all to do the same when doubt tempts so aggressively? “Hitherto has He helped me and hitherto He will!”
