If You Are on Meds. Part [2] 09/22/2026 (Morning thought)

Jeremiah 30:12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

Whatsoever you do, and whatsoever you might be advised to do, we should remember that our bodies are the temple of The Holy Spirit, and as such there will be a close sympathy between the physical and the spiritual aspects of our being. The condition of the mind can be adversely affected by the condition of the body, and vice versa, thus, if it becomes necessary to use meds on a long-term basis, thorough investigation should be made as to how those drugs will affect you.

And if you do use them, if long term use might precipitate other conditions that you may not currently suffer with. The extended use of some meds could take a toll on  the kidneys and other vital organs therefore our due diligence in researching what the long-term benefits or adverse consequences may be, should be done in most situations. There are times when because of some emergency or unexpected turn of events, persons might be put on certain meds to stave of death for a while.

These instances may not always afford you a choice in the matter, where you can count the cost, by weighing the pros and cons before proceeding. Medical conditions, emergencies and many ongoing treatments are not always monolithic, therefore you may be prescribed a sort of tailormade regimen to suit the situation you are in. Whatever might be the issue in most cases there would be long term effects from taking meds, and there are short term effects also.

Jeremiah 46:11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

If You Are on Meds. Part [1] 09/22/2026 (Evening thought)

3rd John 1: 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

God has blessed the human family with an increase in knowledge and understanding pertaining to how the human body works, and responds to different stimuli. As a result of this dramatic increase in the various fields of medicine, an industry which caters to the ongoing need for medicines has sprung up. Meds are used in so many important operations and situations that they have become indispensable to millions of people.

In fact, about 67 percent of all persons living in The United States are on some type Meds. That amounts to about 232 million people as of the latest statistics. In many instances, persons are dependent on meds to live, while in other cases, meds are used to bring about mental equilibrium because of some inherent imbalances that exist. Thus, the pharmaceutical and drug industries have ballooned, close to a trillion dollars.

And it is expected to keep on climbing, as the population is faced with increasing diseases, and perils, coming in from all directions. Therefore, as with everything else, we want to know what God’s will is in our particular situations, so that the use of meds can be managed prudently. As the masses of people seek for solutions, and relief from a host of different medical conditions, it is wise for us to consider what we do, and the decisions which we make.

 Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

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