I'm amazed at the vast amount of options in cold remedies these days. Even going through my own medicine cabinet recently looking for something to abate a summer cold my son was developing, the number of options were insane. Never mind going to a big box drugstore chain to look for something. I'd need medication myself for the headache I'd have after trying to make sense of all the options on the shelves! Not to mention the ones held behind the counter that you have to show ID for because some knuckleheads are abusing them. It's almost impossible to sort them all out and decide which is best suitable to tackle your symptoms.
Daytime, Nighttime, 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour. Pills, tablets, capsules, liquids, reditabs. Rapid release, slow release, extended release. Cough suppressant, decongestant, antihistamine. May cause drowsiness. May cause excitability. May cause me to go insane trying to figure it all out! SHEESH! When and how did we come to need so many options? I say take me back to the days when my Grandma Tucker would offer a dose of good old castor oil - for whatever ailed you! And you know what? Most of the time it worked. Or else we were too scared to complain again for fear of a second dose!
I'm so grateful that God is a one stop shop. No matter what ails us, no matter what our symptoms are, He is the answer to it all. Daytime, Nighttime, Anytime. Anxiety, Worry, Fear. Addiction, Cheating, Jealousy. Depression, Sadness, Heartbreak. Anger, Frustration, Bitterness. Disappointment, Hopelessness, Loss. He is the remedy for it all.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." ~ 1 Peter 5:7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Phillipians 4:6,7
