Thank you for your post. There is another Watching point in 500 Watching points that goes so well with this week’s watching point. Watch
#285 says “Jesus encouraged the eating of food, showing that at our present stage of experience, it is not food that we must eliminate, but the belief that it is material, that it can affect man adversely either through quality or quantity, or that it can be the medium for mortal mind. When Jesus met with his disciples at supper, the eating of food became a channel for a spiritual uplift. When food is seen as a channel for inspiration and blessing, man’s spiritual nature is fed, at the same time his temporary material needs are taken care of.”

Since this beautiful lesson is on “Substance” we can use this same analogy for any gift. In the same watch “nerves” are referred to not as “..the medium through which mortal man becomes conscious of matter, pain, suffering, disease, death but….methods of communicating spiritual ideas; they are the spiritual antenna over which are transmitted the precious messages of good. Spiritually considered they are
God-given means by which man becomes conscious of God, man and the universe.” This is why in the Bible reference that was given in the original post it says that every good gift comes from above and has “no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
