Wholehearted Praise
To awaken each morning with the resolve, "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart," is to go forth in the spirit of well-being and well-doing. It is to embark upon the day's duties, including the highest duty of sustained true thinking, with the joyous conviction that divine Principle, having inspired this resolve, empowers us to carry it through consistently and successfully. To praise God means simply to reflect good. Wholehearted praise is the remedy for halfhearted effort. Intelligent trust in the one creator of the one perfect creation impels us to shut out all the suggestions of the so-called carnal mind. To praise God means to prove the omnipotence of good, and it is from God that this ability emanates.
Wholehearted homage has the support of spiritual law. "Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart." To observe God's law in the heart means that we habitually entertain thoughts of health and holiness, joyfulness and love, for this is singleminded homage.
Christian Science works a radical and radiant change in the outlook of its students. When one is thoroughly teachable at all points, error cannot hide from the radiancy and radicalism of Truth, for "God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." The light of spiritual understanding reveals the oneness of God and man, and thereby defeats the basic error of belief in separation from God, good. Dominion over every claim of imperfection rests on the understanding of one's unity with the supremacy of Mind. No matter how poor may formerly have been one's health, moral standard, and general outlook, through spiritual understanding one is enabled to prove the power of good and to be singlehearted.
