Trust and obey

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!

    This week’s bible story included some lessons which stood out to me, about the importance of trust. Moses was entrusted to lead the children of Israel and the only way for him to do so correctly, was for him to obey God’s instruction and follow His direction. Each time he was met with a challenging question he turned directly to God for the answer (this was an example of great trust) and as he obeyed, each need was met.

    Putting myself in the place of the children of Israel made me think about situations where I am being led by someone else. It is only in recent years, since beginning to study Christian Science correctly, that I have learned that no matter who is put in place to lead me, a parent, a work supervisor, friend, spouse, practitioner, etc. I am to know that I am ultimately being led by my loving father-mother God and to look to Him continuously, for direction. This lesson is brought to light in the following citations from Paul in 1 Corinthians 11: 1 “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” and Mary Baker Eddy in her Message to The Mother Church for 1902 (p. 4), “Follow your Leader, only so far as she follows Christ.”
