One God, one power, one Mind

For the lesson titled "Mind" from February 13-19, 2012

Bible Lesson
Throughout the Bible Lesson this week, we are asked to look beyond our daily activities and see God as All—all strength, all power, all Love, all good. These attributes describe “Mind,” the title of this Lesson. As the one all-active power, Mind upholds us continuously. Mary Baker Eddy boldly declared, “The world would collapse without Mind . . .” (Science and Health, p. 209, citation 2). Each section of the Lesson provides stories and descriptions that support this declaration. The stories describe how individuals are guided by God as Mind; they provide clarity in understanding the spiritual idea of Mind, how Mind positively affects lives, supports the world, and leads us to peace.

Isaiah’s words in the Responsive Reading and Job’s experience, referred to in Section I, teach us to keep our thoughts on our relationship to Mind, God, our Creator. Isaiah, a prophet, exalted God for His strength and wisdom at a time when Israel was in potential danger. Isaiah never lost sight of God as the Creator of all that was around him, and of God as his teacher and guide (Isaiah 40:12–14, 25, 26, RR). Job’s friend Elihu tries to convince Job that God is good and just by considering God’s “wondrous works” (Job 37:14, cit. 4).

Mind positively affects lives, supports the world, and leads us to peace.
