I will

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!

    In Genesis 17 we read all the things God is doing for Abraham and Sarah.
    “I will will multiply thee
    I will make my covenant between me and thee
    I will I will make thee exceeding fruitful
    I will bless her, and give thee a son
    I will make nations of thee”

    God told Abraham to, “walk before me, and be thou perfect.”(Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life-From the New Living Translation)
    “To walk before God is to set him always before us, and to think, and speak, and act in every thing as those that are always under his eye. It is to have a constant regard to his word as our rule, and to his glory as our end, in all our actions.” From Benson Commentary

    This section of our lesson reminded me that God must be understood as the only Creator. We have our part but it is not the originator of anything. My previous experience, myself and others, “man” ran around doing his personal will and called it God’s work or God’s will. It surely did not feel or look anything like I find here. Now I am learning how to get myself out of the way, cultivate humility, practice a listening sense which requires a quiet attitude, spending quality time with God and recognize when I am becoming willful. I am getting to know God in my heart. As suggested I have found it helpful to have a personal covenant with God and get to know the biblical precepts in the Bible to have a compass for my daily life. I am also grateful for the pure teaching of Mrs. Eddy’s works given here. It has lifted a veil that darkened my ability to understand her teachings.
