Timeliness of God's Word

Paul says in II Corinthians "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." When is the day of salvation? Yes, right now. Then, there's nothing to wait for!

Isn't it amazing how often the thought you need comes to you at just the right time. The Greek New Testament has a word for that. It's "kairos."

Then there's a human concept of time, which is time passing, like sand through an hourglass. (This sense of time evokes aging, fatigue, etc.) This concept of time often frustrates us and dupes us into thinking that God is absent. The Greek word for that type of time is "kronos." The author of a book named Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, the textbook of Christian Science, explains that concept of time this way: “Mortal measurements; limits, in which are summed up all human acts, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, knowledge; matter; error” (595:17-19).

Explore the immediacy of God's Word. The word Word is capitalized to signify as the Bible did God's creation moving in perfection, unfolding infinite goodness. Infinite goodness? Is that possible? The Bible says, "All things are possible to God," so I don't see why not. Infinite God has infinite resources. Infinite God has infinite expression. You as the child of God are the infinite expression of God's unlimited love and righteousness, God's unlimited strength and health, God's unlimited intelligence.

It seems there is always something new to learn about infinite. One meaning of infinite is boundless, without limits. So, infinite Love, being infinite, has no limit to the love it shares with you. And, you being the Love's spiritual creation cannot experience any limit of love. That means you cannot experience cruelty, betrayal, or lack of forgiveness. Or lack. Love is unfolding to you and you experience, limitless forgiveness, peace, love, kindness and supply of good. You express and experience God continuously.

As you pray for healing, see the immediacy of God's Word - there are no limits. The One Infinite cannot be late. Infinite Truth infinitely supplies health and supplies health without limits. So, there has never been a lapse from health.

Science and Health 200:16
"The great truth in the Science of being, that the real man was, is, and ever shall be perfect, is incontrovertible; for if man is the image, reflection, of God, he is neither inverted nor subverted, but upright and Godlike."

Science and Health 470:32
"The relations of God and man, divine Principle and idea, are indestructible in Science; and Science knows no lapse from nor return to harmony, but holds the divine order or spiritual law, in which God and all that He creates are perfect and eternal, to have remained unchanged in its eternal history."

In the Bible, Yahweh means I AM, I always was, I always will be. So, God's always been on time and always will be. And, God has always been perfect. And, God's manifestation, including you has always been perfect. (I'm referring to God's spiritual creation, not the mortal counterfeit. Mortals have it all upside down, don't they.)

Ruth Elizabeth Jenks wrote something that I appreciate greatly which explains how understanding time correctly directly applies to healing.

"Time is never a factor in healing, because in reality, there is no past and no future. And that’s true regardless of how you look at the concept of time. You cannot retrieve one moment of the past and tomorrow is always out of reach. We can’t grasp it before it arrives. We only live in and can experience now. This understanding dissipates fear. As someone who’s endured three different healings that required “time,” the last one for two years, I can truly say—paraphrasing the Apostle Paul’s comments—that I, too, could joy in affliction. That’s because I grew in my conviction that Jesus’ comforting assurance that “With God all things are possible” is not an empty promise."
