Once when explaining Exodus 4:4 Mrs. Eddy said, “Sometimes I seem to hear the voice of the Father like this – My child, there is nothing in mortal mind to fear, not even the educated thought that knows what it is doing. But these different claims must needs remain until thou art not afraid. They are here only for thee to learn that they cannot harm. When that is learned, their mission is accomplished and away they go. The way to learn their powerlessness is through the constant recognition of God’s power to dislodge them.” (Carpenter, Gilbert, Jr., 500 Watching Points, #230)
