WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

Harold Molter

It would be well for all those who are beset by disease, lack, fear, and other discordant conditions to turn resolutely to the ever-present Father-Mother God, divine Love, and echo the Psalmist's cry (Ps. 39:7), "Now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee." Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, recognized and proved the ever-presence of divine Love and its tender provision for all when she wrote the first sentence of the Preface to the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."

To lean on the sustaining infinite is to yield ourselves entirely to God's care and to be willing to submit to His will. It is to trust absolutely in the basic truths of Christian Science. In this Science we learn that God is not afar off but that He is all-inclusive Mind; that we, as His ideas, are ever sustained by His inexhaustible love and are maintained in a state of perfection and active, joyous usefulness.

To the youth who may be in doubt as to what the future holds for him or who is discouraged by what seem to be insurmountable obstacles in his way of progress and achievement, Christian Science offers great blessings. It says: "What are you waiting for? Put all your trust in God and see great opportunities right at hand." If we imprison ourselves in the darkness of despair and uncertainty, we reap no fruits; but if we turn to the light of Truth and accept its guidance, we shall be led into paths of right activity and fruitful accomplishment.
