God Guides

RINNIE SLINGLUFF

The alert student of Christian Science is able many times to draw from the incidents of everyday life conclusions that are helpful to him in his progress Spiritward. One such incident in the experience of a student helped to make clearer the true relationship which exists between God and man.

In a home where some children were trying to be helpful, a little one was being ordered about promiscuously. Finally, becoming confused, she sat down and said, "I want my orders to come from daddy." These orders kept her busy for some time. The work assigned to her was considered of little importance by the older children, but the little one kept to her own work, singing as she skipped about; and when the task was completed she said, "Thank you, daddy, for my job."

In this incident is pictured the joyous confidence with which the student of Christian Science may go about his work when he has turned resolutely away from listening to personal opinions and human outlining. Whatever the condition that may seem to confront us, be it a sense of illness, lack, or a business crisis, we shall lose nothing by taking time to go to our Father alone, asking Him to guide us in our individual work, knowing that the ability and strength for the work are in reality already supplied.
