Choosing That Which Is Valuable

VERA D. BOTTING

"Our praying hours can be hours of choice and of right decisions"

Throughout each day we are confronted with a series of preferences or choices. We are constantly making decisions. "Not this, but that," we say or think. Upon our choice depend the harmony and happiness of our existence. The Christian Scientist is learning to choose the things of God in preference to the things of matter.He agrees with the Bible statement (Prov.13:7), "There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches."

Only that which is spiritual has value. The materialist pursues riches which have no enduring substance. Through spiritual-mindedness we evaluate and choose the things of God.
