Before we get a taste of Christian Science, most of us have the same aims; we all want to reach heaven sometime, some way. We want good health, plenty of money, good clothes, good victuals,—in fact everything that is tasteful to mortal sense. To this end we work and pray, but how very few there are among us who get what we pray for; and why? "Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts" (Jas. 4: 3). How much there is for us all if our thoughts and actions were in harmony with Divine Principle!
Jesus said, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6: 33).
Jesus' promises are true, and if we are obedient we shall all receive more than mortal thought can even ask or think. If we will "dwell in the secret place of the most high" (the consciousness of Truth and Love), we shall certainly receive all the protection promised in the 91st Psalm. Sin, sickness, pestilence and hard times will not overtake us if we are dwelling in Truth.
