God a present help
Yes, our heavenly Father is a present help. And the purpose of my blogging for Christ Jesus and Christian Science is to position people's thoughts and lives in God's direction. People who are going about their daily lives without Him, of course. Or are trying to do so. What they are missing!
To know that God's help is ever at hand, that we can turn to Him wherever we are, whatever we happen to be doing, is positively priceless. And to think that anyone of us can gain the spiritual knowledge that enables us to do this.
As those who love and revere Jesus know, the Master turned constantly to God for the healing of pain, disease, deformity, and even saving from death. The Bible indicates that Jesus knew God would hear. The Saviour's understanding of man's oneness with the creator must have assured him that God answers every call, and that God's will is always good, always for harmony, which includes harmony in every aspect of one's life. And Jesus promises, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also" (John 14:12).
God's assistance can be accomplished as we understand the spiritual laws underlying Jesus' teachings and works. These divine and unchanging laws are explained fully and clearly in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. The book teaches how to put into practice the spiritual truths found in Jesus' words and acts. They make it possible for any individual to overcome difficulties through God's supreme power, even as Jesus utilized God's power.
You and I are actually spiritual, not material, not at the mercy of mortal problems, ills. We can never, for even a moment, be deprived of our Father, God's care. There are men, women, and children all over the world who are right now proving this, who are experiencing that God is a present help.
