A Day of New Beginnings. Part [4] 01/06/2024 (Evening thought)

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

God is more practical and down to earth in giving us instructions than many people realize and therefore we are not to expect Him to work a miracle where it may be avoided. Supernatural power engaged in any healing via miracles is to be viewed as the last resort and not the first resource, as too many faith healers in our day have brainwashed persons into believing. Again, in addressing the issue of Root cause, persons are to understand that in the overwhelming majority of cases, modern pharmaceuticals do not address the root causes.

Instead, they will generally go for the low hanging fruit of treating symptoms. For instance, Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound do not address the root causes, and therefore, persons are liable to fall back into a relapse whenever those drugs are halted. In addition to being prohibitively expensive to maintain, they do nothing to address the lifestyle changes that are necessary.

In fact, if persons decide to go that route they would be well advised to incorporate the pertinent lifestyle changes that will facilitate long-term success, since the goal should be to eventually ween oneself off of the drugs, lest persons become addicted, or hooked for life.

Proverbs 23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
