Relating God's Goodness
Reading through Psalm 23, you will agree with me that it's an experiential and revelational blend. The once little Shepherd boy was able to articulate that great piece because he understood the art of shepherding and with the breath of the Spirit, the work came alive..."The Lord is my Shepherd... "
We can always relate our experience of God's goodness to the things we are involved in, to the things around us, to our professional, etcetera
Here:
In drug therapy, we find some medicines which are a combination of various drugs all compressed to make a single tablet (Example, our usual antimalarials Artemeter and Lumefantrine as in Lonart). It's easier and more convenient to swallow 1 tablet than 2 or 3 tablets. The component of this one tablet work synergistically to bring wholeness to a patient.
I therefore make bold to proclaim: "...IN HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST"! (Col. 1:17)
He is that "single entity" who is everything to me; my Joy, Peace, Stability, Satisfaction, Health, Beauty, Intellect, Strength, Life... Everything!
In drug design, the term Sustained release/extended release describes a drug which on administration has a prolonged effect as it is designed to release its content in a not-so-fast manner. The tablet isn't in a hurry, it releases its content slowly over a longer period of time than other tablets. The pharmacist will say, "swallow this one whole, don't chew or crush" else you'll alter the design which will in turn have health implications.
He's that whole Piece you receive at the point of salvation and the experience, you refuse to get over... You experience ripples of His amazing Personality because He dwells in your heart and emits His sweetness in you. "...AND YOU KNOW HIM FOR HE ...WILL BE IN YOU" (John 14:17)
Some folks become dependent on certain drugs because of the pleasurable effect they derive from such drugs. They hardly can go a day without it, they crave and yearn... Some cancer patients depend on a dose of pentazocin to save them from their excruciating pain...
"AS THE DEER PANTS FOR THE WATER BROOKS SO MY SOUL AFTER YOU O GOD" (Psalm 42:1)
Nanotechnology in drug design is another wonder which allows for targeted therapy such that the drugs are delivered in very tiny sizes straight to ailing cells, they do their job and are very specific in action!
"MAY HE GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART AND MAKE ALL YOUR PLANS SUCCEED" (Psalm 20:4, NIV)
That's specificity! He gives you the exact thing you ask for according to His will...
You can always talk about His dealings... Are you a Linguist? An Economist? An Engineer? A Doctor? A Pharmacist? A fashion designer? A Businessman? Accountant? Nurse?... There's something to say about your God in relation to your profession...
JESUS NOBODY BE LIKE YOU! (In Frank Edward's voice)
