1 | Senility 'n th'Word of God: A Meditation | Is 26:3 | Lionstrong | 104688 | ||
Senility and the Word of God: A Meditation Is 26:3 "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. I have a sneaking suspicion, a theory even, that some people become senile (loose their memory) in old age because they haven't remembered the Lord in their earlier years. Why should the Lord keep someone's mind if he hasn't bothered to keep the Lord on it? It is the one keeps his mind steadfast on the Lord whose mind the Lord will keep in peace. There are many passages on remembering the Lord and the things of the Lord, but I suppose the two most important are the fourth commandment and communion: Ex 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 1 Cor 11:25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." |

2 | Senility 'n th'Word of God: A Meditation | Is 26:3 | Chochma | 108269 | ||
"Whatever enslaves man is opposed to the divine government. Truth makes man free." Sickness,Disease and Mental illness enslave the spirit, placing it in sujection to the body. This body that man has clung to is a creation of his own delusions. Realizing the supremacy of Spirit and the error of self freedom from sickness is recognized. It is understood amongst psychologists that depression causes one to become self centered and withdrawn. Could it be that this assumed effect could also be the cause? To measure intellectual capacity by the size of the brain and strength by the exercise of muscle is to subjugate intelligence, to make mind mortal , and to place this so-called mind at the mercy of material organization and non-intelligent matter. Obedience to the so-called physical laws of health has not checked sickness. Diseases have multiplied, since man-made material theories took the place of spiritual truth. You say that indigestion, fatigue, sleeplessness, cause distressed stomachs and aching heads. Then you consult your brain in order to remember what has hurt you, when your remedy lies in forgetting the whole thing; for matter has no sensation of its own and the human mind is all that can produce pain. The popular doctor believes in his prescription, and the pharmacist believes in the power of his drugs to save a man's life.The erring human mind is inharmonious in itself. From it arises the inharmonious body. To ignore God as of little use in sickness is a mistake. Failing to recover health through adherence to physiology and hygiene, the despairing invalid often drops them, and in his extremity and only as a last resort, turns to God. The invalid's faith in the Divine Mind is less than in drugs, air, and exercise, or he would have resorted to God first. The balance of power is conceded to be with matter by most of the medical systems; but when God is given permission by the invalid at last asserts its mastery over sin, disease, and death, then is man found to be harmonious and immortal. Should we implore a corporeal God to heal the sick out of His personal volition, or should we understand the infinite divine Principle which heals? If we rise no higher than blind faith, the healing is not attained, and Soul-existence, in the place of sense-existence, is not comprehended. We live abundantly only as we live above corporeal sense and correct it. We cannot serve two masters. Either we live and move and have our very existence in Spirit or we submit to flesh and the enslavement it is. |
