The justice of your cause

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!

    “Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.” (Psalm 37) The James Moffatt translation of this is interesting and one I referred to often during the days of our law case – “Leave all to him, rely on him, and he will see to it; he will bring your innocence to light, and make the justice of your cause as clear as noonday.” It is well to remember this when you feel your motives or actions have been misconstrued or judged harshly. God knows what it is in the hearts of men. He is the one to rely on. Truth will be seen and acknowledged. This is also true for those who are running for President of our nation. God knows the one who will serve Him most rightly and we can trust and pray that He will bring His plan to fruition.

    Thank you for this post. It is also a treatment against a sense of fatalism, the belief that “there’s nothing that can be done, so might as well just give in and do nothing.”

    There are many people fighting for justice in the world for many worthwhile causes, and it can be tempting to succumb to a sense of fatalism. The Bible provides the perfect antidote as shown in Psalm 37. I often think, “Stand with Principle, and Principle stands with you.” One with God is always a majority!

    Thank you for these posts! And for this very important Bible Lesson, making it clear what our duty is and who it is that we serve! Also, am so grateful for the Bible questions (for the Bible Study), that require us to look further into the parable that Jesus told, starting Luke 19:12. I ask myself, would I have realized that the nobleman that Jesus speaks about is symbolic of Christ Jesus? and that it is the kingdom of God that he is going to receive? and that the pounds, which he gave to his servants, are the talents, the spiritual gifts — the Holy Ghost — which each one of us has today and which we have the opportunity and obligation to improve?

    Also, thank you for mentioning that God knows who will serve Him rightly as President of our nation — we don’t have to listen to personalities or isms, but trust that God’s government reigns. The watches have been tremendously helpful in this.
