Rest in Divine Principle

ANTOINETTE HOLBROOK

The quietness which comes to our thought in times of stress when we turn instinctively to God for help is most comforting. In such deep moments the nearness of divine Love and the tender presence of the Christ-idea are very real, bringing to human consciousness the assurance that in the infinite realm of eternal Mind all is well.

The more earnestly we endeavor to base our thoughts upon the ordered activity of divine Principle, God, and refuse to believe in the existence of any other power, the more clearly do we understand that substance, law, and impulsion all belong to Him. We begin to grasp in some degree the truth that harmony is the inevitable right of God's child, and that consequently there cannot be the slightest reality in anything of which we may have been afraid. We see that the supreme design of the creator for His children must be a wholly harmonious plan, without a single jarring element, and that the creation which God pronounced "very good" forever retains its unchanged perfection.

When we turn to divine Principle for help and support, instead of trying to dodge unhappy experiences which a spurious carnal mind would inflict upon us, we are actively living, working, speaking, in accordance with divine law. Such stability of thought is of much practical value, bringing constantly a surer understanding of God as All. Our surroundings take on a more harmonious aspect, our righteous activities are more productive of good results. Try resting in divine Principle, turning to it for guidance and help throughout a single day, and you will prove this to be so.
