Like many others, I spent time in the pharmacy line to make sure I have my pillbox refilled. Certain meds are for taking in the morning and others in the evening. About half are prescriptions with names I can’t pronounce and the others are over-the-counter items. All are expensive, so I’m thankful for insurance.
I used to think my wife took too many pills, but now I have surpassed her. Regardless of any inconvenience, I appreciate them because they keep heart and other organs working well. Each medication has its purpose and each has its own effect, and I’m amazed they don’t work against each other more often.
A pharmacist told me some meds “fight” each other, so he spent the last ten years of his career developing a company to help people, especially the elderly, make sure their meds cooperate and won’t cause harm or cancel out the effects of others.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just to take one pill that fixed everything? No more forgetting to take several kinds or trying to find the best price or being shocked at the cash register. How nice it would be to have just one prescription.
But perhaps Christians have it already. God has blessed us so that sinful human beings have but one solution - Jesus our Lord - to fix everything. His sacrifice on the cross covers all our sins, from the least to the worst, and best of all, Jesus paid the full price for our sins.
Eternal life with God costs us nothing. “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) That’s God’s promise, and God always keeps His promises.
We may have many problems, but need just one solution, Jesus.
