THE RENEWAL OF HARMONY

From the January 1963 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Who can doubt God's ability to provide His entire creation with ever-unfolding harmony? Where is there place, opportunity, or cause for such doubt in Love-controlled immensity? While the factual answer to this question must be, "Nowhere," we might reply instead, "It exists nowhere except in my own awareness of discordant situations."

One of these replies must be erroneous. Let us examine the quality of each of them. The former reflects clear-sighted, divine consciousness; whereas the latter exposes thinking that is hesitant and hobbled by doubting thoughts, which alternate between beliefs of evil as either real or unreal.

The simple, forthright reply stems from a clear understanding of creation as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, where we are told that God created man as His own image and pronounced His creation "very good." On the other hand, the doubting reply arises from a belief in the Lord God's so-called formation of man from "the dust of the ground" (Gen. 2:7).
