I delight to do thy will, O my God

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!

    Golden Text: Psalm 40 : 8
    “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.”

    Before I came to Plainfield, there was a long time where I am sure it would have seemed impossible to “delight to do God’s will.” I am sure I would have told myself that I don’t want to be controlled or manipulated. Come to find out that I was in those moments being controlled or manipulated by mortal mind, and I was not in any way delighted about it.

    Now, I actually do delight to wake up each day and do my best to listen to divine inspiration and live this Science. While reading the Golden Text this week, I was grateful to understand that doing God’s will is not a matter of shutting down what I actually want to do, but rather — as God’s image and likeness — His will is what I want to do.

    To have this opportunity to do good each day and to be full of joy and gratitude for every bit of abundance (whether it be the beauty outside my window or all the ideas he blesses me with each day to do my work) — why wouldn’t I be delighted to be right where God wants me to be?

    Thank you Plainfield, I am so grateful for how life-changing Christian Science is!
