Meekness is our armor

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!

    “Meekness is the armor of a Christian, his shield and his buckler.” (Message for 1902 p.19:12-13)

    Webster’s Dictionary 1828:
    Meekness – humility;… submission to the divine will; opposed to pride…
    Armor- Defensive arms;… In English statutes, armor is used for the whole apparatus of war; including offensive as well as defensive arms.

    Meekness, not pride, is our armor and defends us from arrows that pass over us; for we are humble and bent low. Meekness is our offensive strength for; we humbly listen and hear God. He directs us rightly every time.
    Meekness gives us sight to do right; and pride is blindness and leads us astray every time.
