August 4 to August 10 – What we believe shapes how we live—but how do we know what’s truly from God? As we understand Spirit, we begin to see that real life and purpose come only from God, not from anything material.
What influences your thoughts? The Bible invites us to “try the spirits”—to recognize what truly comes from God, Spirit. As we understand Spirit more clearly, we let go of false beliefs and discover the freedom and peace that come from knowing our true, spiritual identity.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.”
I John 4:1
“As mortals begin to understand Spirit, they give up the belief that there is any true existence apart from God.”
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 283:1
