Briefing Doc: Lesson 42 of A Course In Miracles

Main Theme: God’s Power as the Source of Strength and Vision

Key Ideas:

1. God as the Source of Strength and Vision:

The lesson emphasizes that our ability to see the world as it truly is, free from illusion, comes from God’s power and gift.

“You will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you the power. And it is His gift, rather than yours, that offers you vision.”

2. Acceptance of God’s Gifts:

The lesson stresses the importance of accepting God’s gifts, which are always available, regardless of time or place.

“God is indeed your strength, and what He gives is truly given. This means you can receive it at any time and anywhere, no matter where you are or what your circumstances may be.”

3. Perfect Orchestration of Time and Space:

The lesson affirms that our position in time and space is never random but perfectly orchestrated, placing us exactly where we need to be.

“Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot be but in the right place at the right time. Such is the strength of God. Such are His gifts.”
