The labour of the righteous tendeth to life

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!

    GOLDEN TEXT: PROVERBS 10: 16
    “The labour of the righteous tendeth to life.”

    RESPONSIVE READING: James 1
    22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

    We just had this verse from James in last week’s lesson, but is wasn’t until being paired with the Golden Text this week that it really struck me. Our God-directed labors are tending to Life, so that means that godless labors are tending and trending toward death. Certainly I have already proved that myself, as everything I did before coming to Plainfield seemed to be pointed toward increasing pain and a certain and pointless death.

    Now, with the understanding and work that Christian Science is giving me, I can feel this constant trending upward. Everything is hopeful, and joyous, or with that promise of joy just on the other side of a challenge. Because of that, all challenge are no longer seen as problems, but opportunities to learn more and demonstrate my way through, with what I am learning here and practitioner support.

    Doing this work, I no longer have to tell myself stories of an eventual future where things will be better. I don’t need fairy tales to get me through, because the daily mission that God is blessing me with is better than those stories ever were. I am so grateful for this practical Science, and how loving our Father is. Thank you!
