God is governing His own universe all of the time, and governing it correctly. There isn’t a thing we can think of which can’t come under the law of divine power. At this time there happens to be a necessity for alertness. The old landmarks are disappearing. They are disappearing rapidly. In our country the political situation has suddenly assumed an aspect utterly unlike anything that has preceded it. Now, what are we going to do about it? The trouble or danger about it, is that you see it wrong. I know one thing, that God governs the universe, no matter what the Republicans or Democrats do. The way to handle error is not to get up a fight with error, but to do some mighty knowing from the standpoint of omnipotence. “The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Nothing can occur that is a serious danger if we know what our country is, and what governs it. If we know our government is the government of God, or Christ, and there is no other, then we know something. If we keep on knowing, we will meet any difficulty or danger, overcome any threat, and establish divine power in behalf of our country. We will be more of a patriot than we ever dreamed of being, because we are exercising divine power to sustain all that is in accord with Principle, for the benefit of mankind. What really counts, is to know that God has already done all things well, and this is the standpoint of Christian Science. Our country, the government of divine Principle, is now established, and the law of it is untouched by any combination of circumstances, and its safety is maintained. God’s kingdom is come; and He is everpresent.
