In this week’s Christian Science Bible lesson the story of Nehemiah teaches us the effectiveness of being alert and courageous to face down the suggestions of evil with the understanding of the power and presence of the goodness of God, Spirit.
Found in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, it reads
“Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike
good. God has made man capable of this, and nothing
can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on
man.” S&H 393: 12 and also,
“To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is
big with blessings.” S&H preface vii.: 1-2
Through understanding divine Life, as our God, we can oppose and deny aggressive thoughts that would try to make us fearful, or feel like a victim, or pin evil intent on another.
As we see from the life of Christ Jesus, he expressed courageous spiritual strength. And we are all capable of letting this Mind be in us as it was in Christ Jesus (see Philippians 2:5).
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1st Peter 5: 6
