"Cast thy burden upon the Lord"
The Psalms are as helpful to mankind to-day as ever they were. They meet so-called human consciousness at whatever point of spiritual understanding it may seem to be, bringing to it consolation and peace, and strengthening it by establishing faith more firmly in God. The Psalms are full of assurance of the faithfulness and might of God; and few statements have surpassed in this respect that contained in the fifty-fifth psalm, which reads, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
It might be said that the value of the Psalms was never more appreciated than to-day. And why? Because of the light which Christian Science has shed on the nature of God. "The Lord" is no longer the limited tribal Deity of the children of Israel. God has been made known by Christian Science to be the infinite One, divine Love, altogether good. No longer is there any doubt as to the nature of His being; the truth has been revealed to mankind with all the clarity of which inspiration and language are capable.
God is Love. Hosea much more than surmised the fact; Christ Jesus inferred it in all he said, and demonstrated it in all he did; John voiced it in the words, "God is love." Mrs. Eddy emphasized the fact, and drew from it conclusions the most far-reaching the world has ever had presented to it. Reasoning from the great truth that God is Love, she concluded that, as stated in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 567), "To infinite, ever-present Love, all is Love, and there is no error, no sin, sickness, nor death." The position, then, is far different from that of David's day. And still, even with the comparatively limited knowledge of God in his time, the Psalmist was able to sing, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee." With what vastly greater assurance can Christian Science now extend the invitation to the whole of mankind!
