A recent visit to the doctor got me thinking about prescriptions. First of all, the prices are OUTRAGEOUS! Then you have to wait for the pharmacy to take their time and fill the medicine that you need just so you can start to get some relief. But did you notice the very detailed instructions that are listed on the outside of the bottle? Take one pill twice a day for 10 days, etc?? How do they expect you to remember to take this so often in the middle of your incredibly busy life? Well, if you want to feel better and get over your illness, the entire medicine must be taken.
Well, come to think of it, there is a prescription that God gives to you as well. It is called church and faithfulness. If you were to think of this as instructions on a bottle it would probably read something like this:
Take a dose of church twice on Sundays (once in the morning and once in the evening) and then one more dose on Wednesday nights. To make sure all your burdens are cared for, you must attend every service until ALL your sins are gone. To ensure a complete cure, salvation is a must. Even after you have been saved, make sure and continue to be faithful to each church service to keep a healthy soul.
So how diligent are you to your prescriptions? Maybe you're not taking the right dose or enough to make a difference. If your life is not what you want it to be, look at God's instructions for a happy, healthy, God centered life.
