In the Christian Science Bible Lesson January 17, 2011 Issue

Unconditional Love is our refuge

For the lesson titled "Love" from January 24-30, 2011

Karen Bailey

This week’s Bible Lesson, titled “Love,” provides plentiful evidence of God’s steadfast care and provision for all of His children, along with the blessings that flow from our gratitude to Him and from our expression of His love.

The Lesson begins with the assurance of God’s ever-presence and tender care, and the Psalmist’s prayerful affirmation that “the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life” (Ps. 42:8, Golden Text). 

This “God of my life” shines forth as “unfailing love,” as The New English Bible puts it. Our prayers in affirmation of our oneness with divine Love, and our awareness of Love’s constant presence, comfort us day and night. We see much of this tender relationship in the verses in the Responsive Reading, and especially in the psalmist’s declaration “In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul” (Ps. 94:19).
