CARING

“PHARMACY

Caring for You!”

it says on the paper bag, I received today at our pharmacy.

How it cheers me up to read that. Life is so full of anxieties.

A proverb says: “An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”

“The LORD is my shepherd, …”

Who does not know about moments of anxiety? Nobody is free from moments of despondency.

Let me encourage you with moments of despondency in the Lives of Good Men:

1. MOSES: Numbers 11:15 Moses asked the Lord to put him to death.

2. JOSHUA: Joshua 7:7 Joshua was afraid that the Amorites would destroy the people.

3. ELIJAH: First Kings 19:4 He prayed that he might die. He told the Lord that he had enough. (Our story?) He told the Lord to take his life.

4. JOB: Job 10:1 Job loathed his life.

5. DAVID: Psalm 42:6 David said that his soul was downcast.

6. JEREMIAH: Jeremiah 15:10 Jeremiah laments that the whole land strives with him, that the whole land contends with him. He says that everyone curses him.

7. THE DISCIPLES: Luke 24:17 When the Lord asked them what they were discussing, they stood still with their faces downcast.

In the Bible it says: “CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM, BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU.”

I don’t know how much the pharmacy cares, but I know that I can trust the promises of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

“‘TOTALLY DEPENDABLE'”

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Werner Dekarski

Humans are looking for someone dependable, someone to put their trust in.

Businesses know that.

On my way to the centre of town today I passed a shop on which was written “‘Totally dependable.'”

Our creator knows that also.

That’s why the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘Trust in God; trust also in me.'” – John 14:1

(Augustine says: “OUR HEARTS ARE RESTLESS UNTIL THEY FIND REST IN THEE.”)

I don’t know about the totally dependability of businesses, but I know that God is totally dependable. David knew that also, because he says in Psalm 62:7 “My salvation and my honour depend on God.”
