The health of my countenance

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!

    “Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” (Psalm 42) One of the definitions of “countenance” in the 1828 Dictionary is, “the human face, the whole form of the face.” So you can ask yourself is there anything about your countenance you don’t like? Do you view it as sad, wrinkled, ugly, misshaped, buck teeth? Think about what this statement from Psalms means. God is the health of your countenance! He has formed every inch of you and made it perfect in every way! Leave your face and all of you in His care. In Proverbs we read, “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Isn’t that the best countenance of all – one that is joyful and praising God? That will certainly make any face glow and radiate with His beauty and also with His health!
