Treasures from above

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!

    Proverbs 8:21
    “I cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.”

    (“Science And Health With Key To The Scriptures” By Mary Baker Eddy p.468:16-24)
    “Question- What is substance?
    Answer- Substance is that which is eternal and incapable of discord and decay. Truth, Life, and Love are substance, as the Scriptures use this word in Hebrews: ‘The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ Spirit, the synonym of Mind, Soul, or God, is the only real substance. The spiritual universe, including individual man, is a compound idea, reflecting the divine substance of Spirit.”

    Treasure (Webster’s Dictionary 1828)
    1-Wealth accumulated; particularly a stock or stone of money in reserve.
    2- A great quantity of anything collected for future use.
    3- Something very much valued.
    4- Great abundance.

    Our true and only substance is that which is from God. We are not made of brain, blood, bones and flesh that seem to become unhealthy and decay. I see that as we live above the material sense of things and translate our daily experiences back into Soul and Spirit, obeying God, he directs our path. Divine Love directs us and fills our day with treasures from above!
    ( It was mentioned at last Sunday’s Roundtable, that “Divine Love Directs.” I love the simplicity to call on this thought at a moment’s notice to keep me on the straight and narrow way.)
