THERE IS something within man mightier than any situation or experience that can come to you. There is within you that which can master any adverse circumstance that appears in your life." Even though one has not discovered this power and utilized it, yet the thing is possible. At least, there is no one who would not want to find it and make it of service in handling situations.
Even the phrase "Mightier than circumstances" conveys power. We feel that the speaking of such powerful words in time of adversity scatters trouble. The words, when we speak them, seem to issue from the voice of God within us. They seem to lift us far above the vexing experiences that we often meet in our daily experiences.
"Mightier than circumstances." Man, knowing the truth of his unity with God, is mightier than any external situation that can arise in his life. He is mightier than the evil doings of any person. He is mightier than anything outside of him.
"Mightier than circumstances." The Truth of God is mightier than all belief in adversity and disease. There is no condition in the physical body that is mightier than God's healing Truth. The truth about man's supreme perfection is mighty to destroy any pathological condition.
"Mightier than circumstances." Man is mightier than any disorder or injustice that can appear in his affairs or in his environment. Man's consciousness of Christ within him is mighty to dispel any adverse condition that can appear as his own.
If an experience comes to any person he can master it. There is no personal problem that the individual cannot solve. There is no deception that Truth cannot reveal. There is no disease that the Truth of God cannot remove or heal.
When man even begins to think of his mightiness he finds that it begins to develop. He finds that the might of God surcharges him with power and with courage to defeat anything in his sphere of action. He discovers that even his words about mightiness seem to summon the aid of God to his side. He finds that the words seem to raise his mind and his body to a higher degree of resistance.
He who gives much thought to the range of this mightiness over experiences and situations can never again let himself believe that he is a victim of circumstances or the pawn of fate. He cannot think of himself as weak or as subordinated to any external will or power. He knows full mastery.
"Mightier than circumstances." In this realization we rest in the assurance that God is with us at each and every moment of the day lifting us higher and still higher to a consciousness of our invincible sonship. "Mightier than circumstances." Yes, mightier than any adverse condition, because God within us is all power and all might.
