MAN CAN DEMONSTRATE GOD'S CONTROL OF THE WEATHER

From the September 1945 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The word "weather" is used to indicate the state of the material atmosphere as to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, cloudiness or clearness. In recent times nations, recognizing the importance of weather in human experience, have sought to discover the physical factors and forces causing atmospheric changes, and to anticipate and foretell weather conditions.

Even more needed is enlightenment as to what men can do to control and forestall those atmospheric conditions which are destructive and obstructive to right human activity, and cause to appear those more normal atmospheric conditions which contribute to the security and well-being of the human family. There is no bad weather in the kingdom of God, and we can begin now to demonstrate this. Because tornadoes, fogs, intense heat and cold, excessive dryness or wetness are not attributable to God, they must give way before a better understanding of Him and His spiritual forces.

Christian Science teaches that nothing is outside of, or beyond, God's control— not even the weather. If you have backed away from the thought of applying divine Science to demonstrate God's power to control the weather, remember that God is infinite; that the extensiveness of the outdoors is not in the least formidable when considered in the light of Mind's infinite presence. God is honored when we realize that the harmony-producing forces of deific Mind are not active just somewhere, but everywhere, controlling every effect, and demonstrating the simple truth that "the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."
