"Walk humbly with thy God"

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!

    “…what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8 (Emphasis added.)

    The word “with” is used over 20 times in the Bible section of this Lesson. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary partially defines “with” as “to unite in company or partnership, and often denotes an instrument.”

    It got me to thinking that the only sacrifice or sacrament that God requires of me is to give up a personal sense of myself, to unite with God, to always know and practice my oneness with God, to let God use me as His instrument. It’s such a simple, but profound, requirement — the supreme sacrifice. Mark tells us that Simon, Andrew, James and John all “straightway forsook their nets.” Let my prayer be for God’s help so that I, too, may forsake any sense of self and not be entangled in its net.
