The Bible promises that “the earth [will] be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Hab. 2:14), meaning that inevitably we will all awaken to see, through spiritual understanding, man as the perfect child of God—and the real universe as presently perfect and complete.
While living with me, my mother, Alice, experienced a wonderful instantaneous healing of a crippling infirmity through Christian Science. Sometime later, we as a family went to a theme park where there were miles of walking—and she was out ahead of the rest of us most of the way. Back at home one day, she was skipping in the yard, something that could have looked simply foolish to an onlooker—a woman in her eighth decade skipping like a little girl. But in her gratitude for the healing she said, “I just feel as if I could take off and fly!”
It was then that the thought came to me, Why of course. Doesn’t the Bible say, “They that wait upon the Lord . . . shall run, and not be weary”? From this I grasped the fact that she was merely fulfilling a living Bible prophecy.
