wait upon God

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!

    “Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.”

    During our last Roundtable it was said, “Don’t rush through your day-keep in touch with God.”

    I am so grateful for all I am learning here that helps discipline my thinking so I turn to God more often during my day rather than push through or mindlessly drift.

    Much is written from the Bible commentaries about this verse, and I thought these paragraphs from MacLaren’s Expositions – about listening silently to God and waiting on him with all our energy – expressed it beautifully:

    “As the flowers follow the sun, and silently hold up their petals to be tinted and enlarged by his shining, so must we, if we would know the joy of God, hold our souls, wills, hearts, and minds still before Him, whose voice commands, whose love warms, whose truth makes fair, our whole being. God speaks for the most part in such silence only. If the soul be full of tumult and jangling noises, His voice is little likely to be heard….
    The silence of the soul before God is no mere passiveness. It requires the intensest energy of all our being to keep all our being still and waiting upon Him. So put all your strength into the task, and be sure that your soul is never so intensely alive as when in deepest abnegation it waits hushed before God.”
