What Am I Leaning On?

To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.
Science and Health, p vii : 1-2

The sustaining infinite is the one Source of all the good there can be. It is Spirit. That is why to persist in being constantly conscious of my spiritual substance is crucial to my well-being.
It is being obedient to what God knows about me (the spiritual facts of being), which provide the certainty of good that I can lean on. Absent from the body(materiality) and present with the Lord(spirituality); cherishing my spiritual worth, my spiritual identity avails much.

Re: What Am I Leaning On?

Yes, this is so helpful...."being obedient to what God knows about me". It is like waking up. Before I read this post I was looking up being in the Concordance because I found written that substance is the "essence of being" . What I found in the Concordance (of Mary Baker Eddy's full works) took me right back to last week's lesson on Man. Science and Health p. 516:3 states " As the reflection of yourself appears in the mirror, so you BEING SPIRITUAL, are the reflection of God. The SUBSTANCE, intelligence, Truth and Love, which constitute Deity, are reflected by His creation;....." So I can lean on God because He already knows this about me and all His ideas!
