MEDITATION AND ACTION

From the February 1892 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Let the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. Ps. 19:14. In his law doth he meditate day and night. Ps. 1:2.

This is the law of Good, and it was established before David brought it as a conscious force into his life, through meditation. To meditate is more than musing, or contemplation. It implies continued thought. Thought is force; it produces its own body. Continued mental application to God's law, was found the rule in the Psalmist's stage of growth. Since spiritual law is the same yesterday, today and forever,Science and Health 6:19 this must prove true in each individual's case. Something pronounced and perfect will result from the action of a perfect law.

The law of God is a spiritual statute, for God is Spirit;— even the evidence of spiritual sense, as against the testimony of material senses. Continually turning to this higher Intelligence to guide him, David brought out the true shepherd guarding his flock of thoughts, and bringing them into harmony. He became a law to himself, through reverently learning Good, in obedience to divine rules clearly apprehended by him. "Blessed is the man," said this consciousness. "Blessed," also said Jesus, who followed the same path to Good.
