A reliable healing law

Christopher B. Bordeaux

My wife and I took a flight recently. We sat in the plane on the tarmac for several minutes—then the engines roared, propelling us down the runway until we reached critical speed and the plane began to lift off. We eventually reached an airspeed of about 500 miles per hour at 36,000 feet of elevation, where the outside temperature was negative 35 degrees Celsius.

As I sat there, I wondered: Why are so many of us willing to trust our lives to the principle of flying, but comparatively few feel able to trust God, the divine Principle, in the same way?

To me there are clear similarities between the principle of flight and the divine Principle, which is God, that enabled Christ Jesus’ healings. They are laws that have always existed and always will. We can count on them. The laws of aerodynamics and of God, “the divine Principle of healing” (see Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 112), are demonstrated every day.
