"I shall not want"

MARGARET B. DANIELS

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," is an unqualified statement regarding divine Love's law of supply. Each individual should therefore apply the spiritual law, in order to break down and annul material beliefs of lack and depression, of disease, sorrow, and discouragement.

For centuries mankind has blindly accepted multitudinous evil conditions as real, as part of what is understood as life. Believing in what we see, hear, feel, we may be deceived by false material laws, and find ourselves entangled in one way or another in the network of belief in sin, sickness, poverty, accident, inharmony, death. But evil is not real. God, divine Love, is forever our Shepherd, and His law is eternal, changeless, good. Health, abundance, happiness, peace, harmony are divine gifts which belong to all of God's children.

Christ Jesus lived, worked, taught, was crucified, and rose from the dead, in order to free mankind from the fearful and unreal bondage to material delusions. He knew God's law; hence he was able instantly to annul all the so-called laws of mortal mind. He revealed Life, Truth, Love, and thus taught the way out of all forms of distress. His marvelous works were in accordance with the law of Love. He said that those who understood his teaching and obeyed God's revealed law should do even greater works than he did.
