The Bible Lesson: a true refuge

Looking for inspiration? solutions? just plain help? The answer fits in the palms of your hands.

In the Andean region of my country, in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, one has the opportunity to climb the imposing Cerro Laopez. The ascent, whether by way of steep paths or in a vehicle along a narrow, winding road, is a true adventure. But, without doubt, one of the attractions that complements the ascent is knowing about the refuge on the peak—a warm mountain structure where anyone may find food and temporary shelter. The view from that point is really astonishing. Contemplating the countryside, formed by majestic peaks and wild vegetation, at that height, naturally invites one to reflect and rest.

The inspiration and possibility of appreciating things from an elevated standpoint are also available in another sense. Through the consistent study of the Christian Science Bible Lessons we can always find refuge and elevate thought. This study brings not only comfort but guidance in spiritual growth in our daily activities and resolution of discords. It expands thought in all the environments in which we live, whether concerning work or relationships—family, school, church—or any other activity.
