THE PRESENCE OF GOD

From the March 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


THE presence of God is ever with men. Throughout the whole universe He is never for one moment absent from any place, however remote, or from anyone.

What does this breathtaking thought imply? Not that God is present to overcome the difficulties we seem to encounter, but that because God is present, everywhere, all the time, because He fills all space, such difficulties have no real existence; they are the illusions of the belief that there is another presence, named evil.

In Psalms we read, "Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob" (114:7). In referring to this Scriptural passage, Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health (p. 135), "The miracle introduces no disorder, but unfolds the primal order, establishing the Science of God's unchangeable law."
