Take Care Of Our Bodies
Ponder this. Back in the past, the way past, pharmaceutical companies were not allowed to advertise. In those bygone days, drugstores were few and far between. But then came a change in our laws, permitting drug companies to advertise. People were able to ask their doctors to prescribe certain medications for self-diagnosed ailments. Dry eyes, shaking legs, and flaking skin were among the common conditions.
Then came the proliferation of drugstores on virtually every corner. We stopped trying to use home remedies and dietary changes to find relief. Instead, opted for a pill for a quick cure.
And where are we today? 65% of adults are on one or more prescription drugs. Instead of finding root causes, we are treating our symptoms with drugs. We have little tolerance for even the slightest amount of pain.
The Lord has given us medications and doctors to deliver them. But we are also called to take care of our bodies through nutritious eating and exercise, so that we may better serve our God and one another.
