Thank you to Jeremy Palmer for the above posting. From Bible commentaries, I found that the Greek verb translated ‘occupy’ here is used in the sense of ‘engaging in business’ or ‘trading’, and what this suggested to me is to occupy thought, or perhaps to work for gain in thought, until I (Mind, or spiritual inspiration) come – and hence show me more of my true relation to God. In thinking about this, I have been very grateful for the article on the Plainfield website entitled ‘The Fruit of Right Thinking’, by Gilbert Carpenter. This warns about comparing ourselves to others, or envying them, and includes the sentence ‘It breaks a moral precept for a student to desire what he does not deserve, and he does not deserve that which he has not demonstrated or cannot pay for’. Very grateful for this Bible lesson.
