The Bible is God’s apothecary shop. In its pages, we can find cures and answers for all of life woes. It is never outdated – it is never too complex – it is never too simple – it is always “just right.”
Here are prescriptions for:
Care: “Be careful for nothing.” Philippians 4:6
Doubt (as to doctrine): “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:17
Doubt (as to duty): “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God.” James 1:5
Fear: “Perfect love casteth out fear.” 1 John 4:18
Greed: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
Pride: “Be clothed with humility.” 1 Peter 5:5
Lust: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16
Selfishness: “He that loveth his life shall lose it . . .” John 12:25
Ambition: “Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not.” Jeremiah 45:5
Anger: “Let all . . . anger . . . be put away from among you.” Ephesians 4:31
Heartache: “He healeth the broken heart and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
These are but a few of God’s prescriptions for ailing hearts. But it’s plain to see that you can find an answer in God’s Word for any problem that you face. Got a financial problem? Remember Christ’s words in Matthew 6:24, “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Get your priorities right. Are you tithing? The answer is in His Word.
Are you sowing to the flesh? Galatians 6:7, “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Emotional problems? Go to Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
And then, you can always call God’s phone number – Jeremiah 33:3, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
