What really governs us?
In our nations, communities, individual lives, a material perspective would say we’re sometimes under the control of bad actors, unfortunate situations, unjust laws. Or that our health is out of our hands. We might feel we can only hope for balance, progress, well-being.
A spiritual perspective shows us something entirely different – a spiritual universe we can come to know step by step and rejoice in, where every detail is under the purview of God, good, who calls even the stars by name (see Psalm 147). We’ve compiled several articles from The Christian Science Publishing Society’s archives that show this spiritual outlook is right at hand, to bless us at every level of our experience.
The author of “To help undercut tyranny” shares how gaining a higher, spiritual view of God, who governs all, contributes to healthier, safer, and more productive forms of human government.
“Under the government of Love” explores how recognizing our existence in the realm of the one divine Mind dissolves bureaucratic issues.
In “Harmony is not the exception,” a woman saw that only what is good has legitimate existence under God’s rule, when a persistent pain in her hip was healed.
In “Yielding to divine Love’s ‘sweet control,’” the author highlights the harmony we experience when we’re willing to see God’s all-power in action.
