Nothing is more comforting, in the face of the daily fears that bombard us, than the assurance that God alone governs and is reigning. The Bible and the teachings of Christian Science affirm that God is supreme, that there is but one all-good God, and that God governs the entire universe. As unrealistic or delusive as this may sound to some, countless examples of healing in the Bible and in Christian Science publications illustrate how the supremacy of God’s power is made evident when it’s acknowledged and turned to.
God’s power is described in the Bible in many different ways. One compelling way, in numerous passages, is through the use of a throne as a symbol for God’s supremacy—a symbol well understood in biblical times.
Isaiah and Psalms speak boldly, with authority and conviction, of God’s supremacy. The psalmist declared, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever” (Psalms 45:6). And God spoke to Isaiah saying, “The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool” (Isaiah 66:1). This establishes that God, omnipotent Mind, has divine, heavenly power over all creation.
