Safe From Harm

       The Psalmist sang, "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations." (Ps. 90:1)  It is for this very reason that in truth you and I are eternally exempt from harm of any kind.  I like to think about this:  we have actually never been apart from our divine source, God--not even for a moment.  As His offspring, dwelling in Him, we are and have always been preserved by His unerring laws of safety and exemption from dangerous conditions.  What a present help in everyday life I have found many times, through the teachings of Christian Science, which fully endorse these divine facts.

        It is obvious that our great Master, Christ Jesus, fully realized the inseparability of man from God.  He taught that man is God's own child, safe in the care and love of his Creator, regardless of appearances.  I've often thought of the time when Jesus  in a crowd.  Some of the people intended to throw him off a hill, but he went he passed through the midst of them, totally safe from harm.

        Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, writes:  "How blessed it is to think of you as 'beneath the shadow of a great rock in a weary land,' safe in His strength, buildling on His foundation, and covered from the devourer by divine protection and affection." (Miscellaneous Writings page 263.)
