Acquaint now thyself with him

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!

    Job 22:21. “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.”

    Acquaint (Webster’s Dictionary 1828)
    1. To make known; to make fully or intimately known; to make familiar.
    3. To acquaint one’s self, is to gain an intimate or particular knowledge of.

    There is no better way to feel the all embracing sense of peace and Love from God than to spend time daily getting to know him better. I like to think about the seven synonyms for God; Life, Truth, Love, Soul, Spirit, Mind, and Principle. I like to think about each term for God and define it to myself and then relate these ideas to each other. For example, I know Life is Being; joy, health , harmony and it is eternal. Life is Love. All Life is created from Love. Love is the substance of Life. As I get to know God better through his synonyms, I get a very intimate understanding of Him that means so much to me, because the ideas I receive are given directly to me from God. This quiet time with God lifts and spiritualizes my thinking. Thereby, I feel such a closeness with God, that and all my fears just fade out of thought. This is true peace given to us from our dear Father- Mother Love. Thank you for this wonderful lesson!!
