A Few Moments Can Be Important

GERALD STANWELL

Most of us, sometime or other, spend disappointing hours attempting to solve a problem from the wrong standpoint. Then a sudden thought, perhaps an enlightening remark from a friend, comes to our timely rescue, and we are led swiftly to the right answer.

On the other hand, there may be periods when trouble assails us and everything seems to go wrong. We may say, "The mistake I made this morning was to get up!"

Yet on such occasions Christian Science wisely commands us to get up, to rise in consciousness. Some problems may occur because we have accepted part of the worldly conclusion that "man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward." Job 5:7; This is not true of God's perfect man, the only true selfhood of each one of us, because, as we learn in Science, this perfect man is the trouble-free idea of frictionless Being. So, if we are tempted to say, "How did I get into this?" it needs but a few moments to turn from the false suggestions offered by mortal mind and realize man's trouble-free existence in and of God, divine Love. Our spiritual rescue is at hand.
