Not to open a political discussion, but the upcoming election here in the United States has caused me to think about who is really in charge of our government.
Being that I adhere to the teachings of the Bible and of Christian Science, two statements have been in thought recently, and helped me look at this topic from a higher standpoint.
First, as Psalm 22:28 points out: "The kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations." Christian Science teaches that the sole governing force of the universe, including man, is God, divine Principle. He maintains His creation in perfect harmony and righteousness. There is never a moment when His divine law is not operating, nor can we be deprived of its power. God's law is good, supreme, and all-inclusive. He does not share His power with anything or anyone else, for there is none--the human picture to the contrary.
And these thoughts from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: "The real jurisdiction of the world is in Mind, controlling every effect and recognizing all causation as vested in divine Mind." Mary Baker Eddy wrote this book.
Powerful truths these, and they have been giving me a firm basis from which to pray about this issue. How reassuring it is to know Who really governs us.
