Continual allowance

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!

    And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. II Kings 25:30

    This statement was given to me when I was going through a difficult situation. It meant to me that God would meet daily my needs, spiritual and material. I didn’t need to worry about finances or the answer to any problem that arose. It gave me peace so I was able to hear God’s directions.

    Mrs. Eddy says, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.” S&H This is God’s to promise to us. And it never fails. My every need was met.

    Thank God for Christian Science and for this Lesson.

    Thank you! I remember too, someone who came to this church deeply in debt and began to work with a practitioner. She was given this statement from II Kings to work with knowing she would always have what she needed for each day as her supply comes to her directly from God. She was also given a few more statements from the Bible which I now have come to call, “The Biblical rules of finance.” The first one was to “owe no man any thing, but to love one another” (Romans). She was to curb back the over-spending that had gotten her into this plight in the first place and pay off all her debts – which she did over a period of time. She was also, during this time, to tithe, even though she felt she had no money to tithe with. The Bible tells us God requires our “first fruits” – not our “last fruits”! So each week before paying her bills she would set aside a tithe to give to church. As she applied these rules to her life consistently she became debt-free and found a way of life that helped her maintain a steady and eventually abundant income. Which leads to another Biblical principle – and that is to bless your neighbor with your increase. Giving to the poor and needy, who are struggling to overcome the beliefs of lack and poverty (and only as God directs you to do), is also part of living a Christian life. Mrs. Eddy was always very generous and gave frequently to charitable organization. We will talk more about this at the Roundtable on Sunday. God has an answer to all our problems, including lack, but we need to be obedient to Him and to His laws and principles.
