Fresh Every Moment

From the September 1971 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science shows us that God's perfect spiritual creation is not static, not rigid, not set up at some point in time. In reality you and I and the universe are the eternally unfolding conceptions of the infinite I AM, sustained and renewed by Him moment by moment as He knows us.

Spiritual man can no more weaken or deteriorate than can the irrepressible Life that is God, for man is the proof of Life's living, Mind's knowing.

The Bible promises, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isa. 40:31;
