self medicating

People want to make themselves feel better. Rightly so, if there is a problem or thorn in your flesh you will pick and tweeze and soak and try and mend it. But the problem with this is our resources have been hijacked.

We think, we choose to believe that some salve, some drink, some capsule, or quiet meditation will fix it. Sorry, but it literally won’t. That’s putting a bandaid over the situation. And it’s not a good bandaid. It’s one of those that leaves all that sticky residue around the wound so now you not only have a bobo but almost a target around it too.

Now as to not confuse you, I am an advocate for medicine, I vaccinate schedule routine dental and medical checkups. I even have surgeries! But what I am saying here is that you are responsible for living your best life. The health of your soul. The inner man. You don’t use a scissors to do a hammers job. Likewise, the tools you are using may not be the wright tools for the job. And no when you do something new it will not be easy, you may fail, but that is part of what learning is. No one on this planet rode a bike for the first time without at least a fall. But get back up! Have the courage to try again! Maybe follow someone first to get your feet wet and the confidence to do it yourself.

What if we were to use His word to heal. What if we applied some scriptural teaching to actually become our ‘inner voice’ and life’s work? I challenge you today to search the Word, dedicate some healing moments with your Creator. And not look back! The Psalms are a great place to start…

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105.

For the word of God isquick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and isa discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Psalm 119:10.
