The change of thought that brings progress

Originally published in The Christian Science Monitor’s Christian Science Perspective column January 24, 2025.

Behind progress, there’s always a change of thinking that leads the way. First comes an openness to a change of thought, and then a commitment to clothe our thoughts with the new idea, the fresh perspective, the adjusted outlook.

It’s beautiful where the Bible says, “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness” (Isaiah 61:10).

This shows clearly how fine and beautiful one’s quality of thought can be. Clothed in God’s, divine Spirit’s, salvation and righteousness, we’re naturally joyful—and intimidated by nothing.
