Wednesday Testimony Meeting Readings.

This recording is of the readings on the topic: God – Parent, Shepherd, Friend

God is Love (The Bible – I John 4: 8)

DIVINE LOVE ] is my shepherd; I shall not want.

[LOVE] maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
[LOVE] leadeth me beside the still waters.

[LOVE] restoreth my soul [spiritual sense]: [LOVE] leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for [LOVE] is with me; [LOVE’S] rod and [LOVE’S] staff they comfort me.

[LOVE] prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: [LOVE] anointeth my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house [the consciousness] of [LOVE] for ever.

(From the 23rd Psalm – Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p578)

The Nearness of God   Leave a comment

God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.  

Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.  

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,  

so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;  

for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

(The Bible – Acts 17: 24-28 NKJV)

Psalm of Care and Protection   1 comment

.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

(The Bible NKJV – Psalm 139: 1, 8-10)

One Universal God   Leave a comment

God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect. Not more to one than to all, is God demonstrable as divine Life, Truth, and Love; and His people are they that reflect Him — that reflect Love.
