Assignment 13
 
Everything in our universe is under Law, comes forth by Law. The seed in the earth, the embryo in the womb, are workings of Law. There must be conception, gestation, and delivery, or no human form would come forth.
 
Yet man excludes his life from this Law and order. He feels life is a haphazard, “time and tide” affair – and he is filled with uncertainty and insecurity. Man believes outside happenings control his life and body. We must know the Law of life is certain. We were not created to be battered and rejected.
 
God is the name man has given to the unseen power and authority back of all creation. Man’s power and protection come from comprehending this indwelling Spirit. First man must accept it as a possible Truth in his human mind, and then comes the overwhelming testimony of his own heart and being that cannot be denied. Knowing is the unquestioned assent of man’s innermost self!
 
The Truth is so simple: there is One Supreme Power in the universe, God! We all admit the One Power, though we may call it by many names. The scientist may call it Source, First Cause, but the religionist calls it God. No matter what it is called, it is the Law of the Universe; out of it all things are formed.
 
“There is no power but of God, the powers that be are ordained of God.” (Romans 13:1)
 
Let us put it into simple childlike words. God is the unseen power back of and supporting all that is seen. If God is everywhere present, there is no place where God left off and you began, no place where you the human, less than perfect, began and God the Perfect left off. This means the two are One! You in God and God in you . . . Unity!
 
“God, there is none else!” (Isaiah 45:6) You bring forth everything through the action of your mind coupled with the great feeling with which you imbue it. Just think about it . . . then think about it some more! Keep thinking!! God is the fulfilling of the Law.

Today, Wednesday, March 16, is day number seven in the Lenten season. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
 
Assignment 7
 
There are many things in our world today that overwhelm us. There are situations and conditions of seemingly great evil, manifestations that we cannot understand with our human reasoning, things in our lives and relationships that haunt us with the question “why?” There are in our world today things that strike fear in our hearts and before which the strongest one trembles. Strength is to stand against the appearances of any time.
 
The Scripture reassures us that we belong to the One Power we call God and we as human beings have overcome or conquered “all such” for the power that is in us is greater than this that is in our world. (I John 4:4) It also tells us we are saved from these things “by grace.” (Eph. 2:8) If we are safe from the “things” of the world, we should find out how and be safe!
 
How do we get this grace? How do we use it? What is it? Grace means “beloved, dear.” So we must have the power because we are beloved, and dear, belonging to the One power that dwells in us.
 
Surely Jesus believed He was beloved and dear to the power within Him that He affectionately called “Father.” He also called this Power, “Our Father.” Jesus had power in the invisible far beyond modern man’s greatest achievement. We of this day and age are awed by the invisible realm of feeling and being and here in the invisible realm lies All Power!
 
In the realm of ourselves we have not found our authority. Our minds, bodies and emotions are an enigma to us. We live in the outer. We can only enter into our true being with the realization of feeling. Feeling is the Power.
 
You have been aware of your outer self for years. Have you thought of your body as feeling? Pinch your arm and you realize your body is feeling. Body and soul are merely two aspects of feeling. The body is not one substance and soul another, they are both our feelings.
 
Your response to everything in life is feeling. There is only feeling. We react to sight, hearing, touch, taste, or breath with feeling. Movement is feeling. Rest is feeling. Grace is feeling that you are beloved and dear to the power within. How do you feel?
