Throughout my life I have found the teachings of Christian Science to be the surest means of meeting day-to-day challenges. God's healing and protective care was especially evident to me while I was working for several years in the Far East.
My work as an officer of an international development institution regularly took me to remote districts of the region's developing countries. Although I found myself in isolated areas—sometimes on far-flung islands—I was continuously comforted by Biblical assurances of divine Love's ever-presence. These verses in Psalms were especially meaningful (139:9, 10): "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."
In one part of south Asia during the violent prelude to a national election, a mob began to stone the slow-moving train in which I was riding. I trusted in God's sheltering power and felt unafraid. In turbulent circumstances I have often found secure refuge in this promise of Psalms (91:5, 11): "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day .... For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." The attack ceased, with no apparent injury to any of the passengers.
