CARING FOR THE BODY

The Psalmist, who, through a spiritual sense of things, discerned the true source of health, sang (Ps. 42:11), "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, concurs with the Psalmist's spiritual concept of health as originating in God, divine Mind. On page 120 of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," she gives this enlightening description of health: "Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind; nor can the material senses bear reliable testimony on the subject of health."

How stable and glorious the divine quality of health proves to be when we scientifically discern that it is a God-created, Mind-bestowed condition, reflected by man, God's image, fully and consistently!
