Take your medicine…
Why is it so easy for me to give others advice but if the situation applies to me...why do I act so differently?
How long will it be that I have to deal with myself (my flesh tendencies powered by emotions)?
I like encouraging others and giving people those words that are inspired by the WORD, so they may be able to move up and out of their negative circumstances. I have such a high desire to see others grow and come into their purpose and potential...but have I forgotten about myself?
I feel like I am a pharmacist, who has been given authority to have the Great Physician’s (God) written prescription. With that access, those people I talk to can get their prescription filled and take their medicine as God uses me and this desire he put in me to encourage and distribute his healing medicine.
But why is so hard, for me myself, to take my own medicine that he prescribed to me individually?
Why is it so hard for me to swallow my pink pill of peace, my square pill of security, my purple pill of patience, or even my capsule of courage? Why am I able to swallow some of my prescribed medicine but decide to use something that is over the counter knowing that its strength could never equal the prescribed? Is it because I have gotten so use to the pain?
I must stand on HIS word His prescription for my life, in spite of my flesh. I must not be only a hearer and a distributor but I also must ingest the medicine he prescribed deep inside...
A small sample of my prescription of promises...
according to my earnest expectation and hope that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but as always now Christ shall be magnified in my body with all boldness, whether it is by life or by death. (Philippians 1:20)
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, (Philippians 1:6)
Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
casting all your anxiety onto Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)
