God shepherds us
How can we prepare for an unclear future? When carefully laid plans are going awry and we don’t know which way to turn, what’s needed is omniscience—a quality of God that is often overlooked at times when everything is going as expected.
Thinking through God’s omniscience, the all-knowing character of God, might seem curiously intellectual. But omniscience is a natural aspect of God’s infinite intelligence. In Christian Science, one of the Bible-based synonyms for God is Mind. The divine Mind is conscious of its entire creation—the vast infinitude of spiritual ideas that make up man and the universe.
Mind always sees us only as we really are: flawless expressions of the divine intelligence. In Mind’s loving omniscience, spiritual man—each one of us—is known in full detail, is governed harmoniously without interruption, and reflects the infinite intelligence of Mind.
