Incline your ear…

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!

    Isaiah 55: 3 “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”

    This is so beautiful, and what a promise!

    “Hear, and your soul shall live.” All we have to do is listen! And yet, it means we have to block out all the noise of the moment. This reminds me of S&H, pg. 89: “Spirit, God is heard when the senses are silent.”

    Soul offerings of art and inspiration come when the heart is listening. I remember hearing an interview with Steven Spielberg who stated that his grandfather taught him in the Jewish tradition that great inspiration would come in silence (paraphrase). That really struck me because Spielberg is such an amazingly inspired artist. He must have spent a lot of time in his life in listening mode. I too find that when I need answers to just about anything, turning to God will bring all that I need. When credit for inspiration is given to God, it takes any focus off of self, and leaves the door open for more.

    Thanks Susanne. God is always directing our paths and when we obey His voice, we don’t stumble or make mistakes. Any inharmonious steps are our fault, a trick of mortal mind causing us to repeat our steps. Being in complete obedience to God corrects all situations.
