We'd like to share with you some metaphysical thoughts regarding Hurricane Earl.
In this week's Bible Lesson, subject Man
Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
A definition of "blessed" from the King James Version dictionary
"to watch over somebody or something protectively."
"The history of Christianity furnishes sublime proofs of the supporting influence and protecting power bestowed on man by his heavenly Father, omnipotent Mind, who gives man faith and understanding whereby to defend himself, not only from temptation, but from bodily suffering."
When we turn to God and ask "what do you see?" we are shown the protecting power. God does this by supplying abundant faith and spiritual understanding.
Hymn 10 from the Christian Science Hymnal
All power is given unto our Lord,
On Him we place reliance;
With truth from out His sacred word
We bid our foes defiance.
With Him we shall prevail,
Whatever may assail;
He is our shield and tower,
Almighty is His power;
His kingdom is forever.
Rejoice, ye people, praise His name,
His care doth e'er surround us.
His love to error's thraldom came,
And from its chains unbound us.
Our Lord is God alone,
No other power we own;
No other voice we heed,
No other help we need;
His kingdom is forever.
O then give thanks to God on high,
Who life to all is giving;
The hosts of death before Him fly,
In Him we all are living.
Then let us know no fear,
Our King is ever near;
Our stay and fortress strong,
Our strength, our hope, our song
His kingdom is forever.
