In times of stress and fear in the world, humanity turns for help to some power outside itself. There are those who claim that they do not believe in a power outside material means for protection, but many others believe that there is an intelligence or a spiritual force beyond human or material capabilities that has the power to protect them.
Students of Christian Science acknowledge this intelligence to be the one infinite, perfect, omnipotent God, their Father and protector. They turn to Him for guidance and, with confident assurance, look to divine Mind for the solution of all their problems.
The Bible reassuringly proclaims, "The Lord God omnipotent reigneth" (Rev. 19: 6). If God has all power and reigns supreme, then any human government that is not in conformity with God's law of individual expression and freedom is devoid of that which alone can perpetuate it. Without God's power to sustain it, a government has no power to endure. Knowing this, one may be certain of the demonstrability of God's complete control of every situation and of the impotence of any seeming force or power based upon selfish motives.
