There is probably no topic more discussed in conversation than the weather, and it appears to have a great influence on the daily lives of mankind. In most areas of the globe the weather evidences inclement extremes of one or other of its elements. Though some natural scientists feel that they have been able to influence rainfall to a limited degree, they are still far from being able to exercise any significant control over the weather.
Christ Jesus demonstrated the control of Mind over destructive natural events, or what are ineptly called by some people acts of God, and so did his faithful follower, Mrs. Eddy. Over the years many Christian Scientists have testified to the control of harmful manifestations of weather or to protection from so called natural calamities. We read in the eighth chapter of Matthew of a great tempest that arose on the sea and of the disciples in great fear awakening Jesus to ask his help. And we are told (verse 26), "Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." The same power available to Jesus is revealed to us through Christian Science.
It is important, however, to realize that because God controls all, He alone controls the weather. Only as we acknowledge His absolute control over His universe, and His love and care for all His children, can we prevent or mitigate whatever manifestations of weather are not in accord with God's harmonious order.
