"He directs our path"

MOLLIE D. BATES

God's law, by which those who look to Him are guided and protected, is always harmonious. And this fact can be demonstrated by those who are willing to learn and to think according to the teachings of Christian Science.

When thought is governed by divine Mind, one's steps are taken in orderly fashion. In our affirmation of the truth, however, we must be consistent, renouncing every false belief which mortal mind sets forth for our acceptance. In so doing we may rest in the promise voiced by Isaiah, "I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight."

On one occasion a student of Christian Science was faced with what seemed to be a delicate and complicated situation. The need was for a wise decision. At this point she became anxious and overburdened by the false assumption that she was responsible for the outcome. Error persisted until she turned wholeheartedly to Truth, seeking spiritual guidance. Courage and consolation were gained in pondering Mrs. Eddy's statement on page 254 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which reads, "When we wait patiently on God and seek Truth righteously, He directs our path."
