What is a Contract?

When two parties come together, do you ever wonder which side God is on? Praying about a real estate contract that is coming up for agreement soon, ideas about what a contract really is came to mind.

A contract is an agreement, right? So, it's not so much a thing as an idea. Everything around us is really an idea. God, who is the great intelligence of the universe, is the true source of all ideas.

When I have something to pray about, I have been asking myself, what is God's relationship with Herself? How is God seeing Himself? I believe this allows us to quickly see what is going on.

God is in perfect agreement with Herself. That's what is going on today. To us it seems like two distinct parties come to the table to dispute or agree a contract (agreement). But, in actuality supply and demand both have their source in the One God. And really, both parties are actually in the One God. (Not physically, of course.)

Really, both parties are in perfect agreement, before they start, because God is the source of their being and existence. Interestingly, the word agreement actually means in harmony. Therefore, all parties are included in all-harmonious Love. Is it any surprise that an agreement is a synonym for contract.

On page 200 of a book named Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by an American student of the Bible named Mary Baker Eddy reminds that God's spiritual creation is perfect. (God's creation is entirely spiritual and the mortal condition with all its angst is a counterfeit.) She says that the fact of God and man's perfection is incontrovertible. Let's go to the dictionary for that one.

incontrovertible: not open to question or dispute; indisputable:

I like to think that that means it's not even up for debate. We begin and end our prayers with an acknowledgment that the Truth is already established. This tells us that God and man's perfection is a fixed fact. It is firmly set up, anchored, inarguable, permanently enacted or agreed.

That's it! Everything that needs to be done is actually done by God, the real do-er. With confidence and gratitude we can see that God has actually done everything that is needed. Healing is that fact dawning on us.

Isn't it wonderful how God governs everything? Isn't it great that everything is in harmony because of God's relationship with Himself?
