God's Day

HENRIETTA S. SMITH

The Psalmist says, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." In the Preface to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. vii), Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, has written, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."

When we are "leaning on the sustaining infinite," could we experience any other than a perfect, good, joyous, and happy day? Our Leader defines "day" (ibid., p. 584) as "the irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love." And she adds, referring to the fact that "Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded," "This unfolding is God's day, and 'there shall be no night there.' " When we are willing to trust divine Love, we are allowing this light, spiritual understanding, to unfold in our consciousness; and as we do so we receive the blessings our heavenly Father-Mother God bestows on His children.
