'…he that keepeth thee will not slumber.'

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!

    Psalm 121 in the lesson this week is a beautiful short Psalm that says, Verse 4 “Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

    As one of the daily duties “Christian Scientists, be a law to yourselves that mental malpractice cannot harm you either when asleep or when awake.” from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 442.

    I sometimes wondered how to be a law unto myself..when asleep.

    How reassuring to know that God is watching over us when asleep, and that falling asleep, we can know He is there keeping us safe, for He doesn’t sleep and that His law is operating even we sleep.

    Spurgeon also writes of this Psalm 121 in a sermon called “Wakeful and Watchful Eyes.”

    “He is so great that His center is everywhere and His circumference is nowhere! And you, dear Brother or Sister, may be the very center of God’s thoughts and so may I–and all His redeemed may at the same moment have His thoughts fixed upon each one of them! Can you realize the wondrous Truth of God that there is never a moment, night or day, in which the great mind of the Eternal ceases to think of you? Then, how safe you are with God always looking upon you! How happy you ought to be with God always thinking of you! Yes, how joyful you ought to be because, even if others forget you, He never does!”
