Your capacities belong to God

From the January 2022 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We tend to think of the concept of “capacity” in terms of how much something can hold, or the ability of individuals or things. And because capacity is typically measured in material terms, it is thought of as limited, finite. 

However, through the study of the Bible and the teachings of Christian Science, we can also consider capacity from a higher perspective. From a spiritual standpoint, capacity has an infinite basis. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, describes us as “reflecting God and the divine capacity” (No and Yes, p. 21). 

When we take a look at the Bible, we see that it conveys the infinite, unlimited nature of God in a variety of ways, and Bible accounts tell of many faithful people who leaned on this all-powerful God when facing hardships, resulting in great victories.
