Praise ye the Lord

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!

    Our lesson sermon this week opens with the first 7 verses of Psalm 148. “Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights” (Ps.148:1) Spurgeon Commentary says “There are five “Hallelujah Psalms” at the end of the book. They are so named because they begin and conclude with Hallelujah “Praise the Lord”….He is charmed with the prayers of his people -they hold him, they prevail with him. He will do anything for them who know how to pray. ‘Prayer moves the arm that moves the world’ (John Aikman Wallace, There is an Eye That Never Sleeps). The Lord’s people bring Him pleasure. What is there in us which the Lord can take pleasure? Nothing, unless he has put it there. If he sees any beauty in us, it must be the reflection of his face. The Lord takes pleasure in us not only because of all he has done but because he sees something in us that pleases him, something that is his own work.”

    More and more I am seeing the importance of being grateful, and joyful no matter what we are confronted with, or activity we are doing. To praise God continually as much as we are able is to be in the presence of God, “….or oneness with God, –a unity which sin recognizes as its most potent and deadly enemy. “ (Un. P, 54)
