A SABBATH DAY MOMENT

Spiritual receptivity opens the door to immediate inspiration in a crisis.

BY JACK LINDSEY

I WAS UP EARLY on a recent Sunday morning to catch the first leg of my flight to a business meeting some 3,000 miles away. That morning I prayed for guidance in ordering my thoughts. The "still small voice" was very clear, and I heard, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Ex. 20:8). I thought, I will keep my thought on God all day long. I will fly with Spirit. And Spirit will fly with me.

During the first part of the flight, I completed a detailed study and review of the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson on the subject of "Soul and Body." My study showed me that part of keeping the Sabbath holy is upholding the truth that God created man to express only that which is Godlike.
