I love Christian Science because it explains how God governs the universe. The more I understand, the more I see, the more I experience of God’s laws at work, the happier life continues to be.
It occurred to me this morning that I’m benefited by God’s laws whether I understand them or not.
This is very heartening, because I have a lot yet to understand!
For instance, before Newton discovered the law of gravity, millions of people were still benefited by that law in operation. The primates rolled off their bear skins in the morning, stood up, and did not float off into space. The law of gravity held their feet to the ground. Even the animals were protected by the law of gravity, and they had no worry about whether they understood it or not.
The same rule applies to God’s laws of harmony at work on our behalf. When we don’t understand them, they still bless us and protect us.
Yesterday, I had a long list of things to get done, aside from my usual practice, which I spend the bulk of my time enjoying. Part way through the day, I thought, “God isn’t worried about getting these articles written and inspirations recorded. In the divine Mind, they are already finished, complete. God’s law of completeness is governing you now, ensuring that you reflect this truth. So, there’s no way you cannot get them done in a timely way.” The anxiousness left, and peace took over. I glided through the rest of the day.
But evening rolled around, and one of the major jobs had yet to be started, let alone finished. No inspiration had lit on my thought to follow through with. But I didn’t fret. I trusted the outcome to God.
In moments, the inspiration I needed came. The mental lights went on in full force. An hour later I was finished.
This morning I realized how pleasant, yet very productive, yesterday had been.
God’s laws of harmony are governing you today whether you admit them or not! You cannot escape them. They are all around you, guiding, governing, directing, leading, inspiring, helping and supporting.
The laws of harmony are not humanly invoked. They are divinely mandated. They are and always will be. You can’t fight them, walk away from them, stop them or prevent them from doing you good.
When standing in the sunshine you can’t help but feel the warmth of the sun. Similarly, you exist in the presence of God’s laws continually and constantly, and cannot escape their uplifting and positive effect.
Enjoy the benefits!
Whew!
This made me the happiest I’ve been in days!
What a relief.
This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning as I begin a day with a long list of things to accomplish. As usual, you are right on the mark. Thanks Evan.

Thank you!!! As our Golden Text for this week says: Open thou my eyes to behold wondrous things out of thy law. It is wonderful to know we are always governed by God’s laws of good!
I had a similar experience today. I needed to pull anchors on a couple of boat moorings in a relatively open anchorage on the ocean. I wanted to rush right out and get it done before the wind got stronger. But no — first things first. I did the lesson. I prayed to see God’s law of intelligence (so I wouldn’t do something stupid and put myself in jeopardy), to see God’s law of strength so I’d do it without straining, His law of peace and harmony so all would work well. Now I didn’t thing about whether I understood these laws. I just acknowledged that they would be in operation. This year’s task went like clock work. The wind didn’t die down but everything was calm. Not the slightest problem. And BTW those laws would have been in place if I had rushed right out. Still worth the prep, but I need to also know that even if I had not prepared those laws still would be in force.
Whow! What a beautiful reminder . . . such a relief. That will help me with my school work too! 🙂
Thanks, Evan!
Never had thought before how I don’t question the law behind sunshine when I’m basking in it. So too I *can* let my day unfold in a similar harmony. Gosh, what a liberating concept! Thanks, Evan (for your Daily Lift message too, today)
Trusting the Divine!! Glorious1
