Let's Look at the Law

BARBARA B. HOLLIDAY

The story of Daniel in the Bible is a helpful parable on law. Neither perverted justice nor wrongful influence (both indulged by his jealous associates under the law of the Medes and the Persians) could deprive him of his God-given rights to happiness and well-being. Daniel was vindicated because he relied on and appealed to the law of his God.

God's eternal law is just as available to us today as it was in Old Testament times. A spiritually correct sense of the true idea of law, which God, divine Mind, has established from the beginning, can so elevate our thought above the aggressive claims of confusion, injustice, and ignorance surrounding a situation as to enable us to perceive heretofore unseen avenues of resolution that will bless all concerned. Insisting mentally that divine Principle, God, has formulated and established all true law; that this spiritually scientific law supports the order, harmony, and intelligence of His infinite creation, can have direct bearing on our experience. With transforming, redeeming, saving power, this truthful knowing will enable us to understand that our experience is held within God's infinite law of Love, within the spiritual province of Mind, God, rather than in the material province of so-called mortal mind.

Of the supreme law, Mrs. Eddy declares, "God's law reaches and destroys evil by virtue of the allness of God." And, she continues farther on, "God's law is in three words, 'I am All;' and this perfect law is ever present to rebuke any claim of another law."^{No and Yes, p. 30;}
