THIS WEEK'S Christian Science Bible Lesson, titled "Soul," offers insights into the "intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, [and] reality" that God brings to each of us (Science and Health, p. 298, citation 4).

What opened up to me as I thought about intuition was an interesting relationship between the first two Bible citations in Section I. The Psalmist's lament in the first citation, and his change in attitude, are a close parallel to Jacob's struggle in the second citation.
