Antidote to Miscreating

[parthens]

Mrs. Eddy in SH, 263, quotes from Lord Byron’s important poem, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. Here is the passage from which she extracted her quote:

“…Circumstance, that unspiritual god
And miscreator, makes and helps along
Our coming evils with a crutch-like rod
Whose touch turns Hope to dust,
The dust we all have trod.”

Hebrews 11:3 tells me that “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Romans 4:17 – the Mind of God “calleth those things which be not as though they were.” This is the antidote to miscreating. This is how I can be the master of circumstances instead of their servant. In fact. as image and likeness of God, I am required to frame my world by word of God, instead of miscreating my world by using the god of difficult “circumstances” as a crutch or excuse to be the servant of circumstance and prostrate myself before its tyrannical rod.

Jesus made this very clear: “No man can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24); “If ye abide [remain] in me, and my words abide [remain] in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).

“Let failure find its false content
In that poor word, ‘environment, ‘
But Spirit scorns it, and is free.
It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant’s place.”
– James Allen

Thank you! Mrs. Eddy loved poetry and was a poet herself. What beautiful poetry to further support the truth found in her writings.
