Sicknesses of all kinds are seen and experienced everyday. Everyday we're called to obey God's
ten commandments, but we fall short of his glory because we don't take our medicine: obedience. Some
people engage in making idols for themselves, when the word of God says, "Do not make for yourself an
idol in the form of anything in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below." (Deuteronomy
5:9). You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me,
(Deuteronomy 5:10) showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my
commandments. (Deuteronomy 5:11) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord
will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. (Deuteronomy 5:12) Observe the Sabbath day by
keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. (Deuteronomy 5:13) Six days you shall labor
and do all your work. (Deuteronomy 5:14) but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it
you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your
or, your donkey or any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest as
you do
(Deuteronomy 5:15) Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God brought you out
of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to
observe the Sabbath day. (Deuteronomy 5:16) Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God has
commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is
giving you. (Deuteronomy 5:17) You shall not murder. (Deuteronomy 5:18) You shall not commit
adultery. (Deuteronomy 5:19) You shall not steal. (Deuteronomy 5:20) You shall not give false testimony
against your neighbor. Our conditions are due to disobedience. (1 John 5:3). This is love for God: to obey
his commands, and his commands are not too burdensome. The medicine for killing is obedience. The
medicine for stealing is obedience. The medicine for gossiping is obedience. Medicine for dishonoring
your m other and father is obedience. The medicine for hatred is obedience. Medicine for every condition
in the world is obedience to God. We ask in times of turmoil, "Why does these tragedies happen? To
secure our dependence God Almighty. Our actions of disobedience are the reasons. We reap what we
sow. The BIBLE gives us the best prescriptions there is, (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth).
The only effective medicine that exists is obedience to God. So let's urgently take our medicine everyday:
Obedience.
