“Take diligent heed”

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!

    “…take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law” (Joshua 22:5)

    I found these Webster 1828 definitions helpful:
    Diligent – Steady in application; constant and careful in effort; assiduous, attentive, industrious
    Heed – Attention; caution; care; watch for danger; notice; circumspection.

    So if I truly love, I will give steady, constant and careful effort in following God’s direction. I will be consistent in not entertaining any “ups” or “downs” to spoil my temperament and keep me from loving more. I will be alert to error’s suggestions, and deny them and kick them out of my thinking immediately and with vigor. This is being diligent and consistent in applying the Truth. I often recall Mr. Evans’ loving warning to me to be consistent, — and not to be consistent in inconsistency. Such good, loving advice.
