Depending on where you grew up, I’m sure you have a home remedy for any physical ailment you had! Nonnie often insisted that gargling some salt water would fix practically any pain – she’d probably even “prescribe it” for a heartbreak. Some people believe that drinking some apple cider vinegar every day will help you live longer (and help you shed a few pounds). Some people (cough cough MOM) believe in just waiting it out a few days, because let’s face it – you’ll survive.

According to my Bevy though, all you will ever need is a cold glass of milk. Headache? Milk. Can’t sleep? Chocolate Milk. Relief is as close as the nearest cup of milk. As you would probably assume, I have had my fair share of milk. In fact – I can’t sleep right now – as I write this, I’m curled up in a fuzzy blanket sipping on a tall glass of cold milk.

We all want a “cure all”. We want a one-size fits all fix to whatever it is that is bothering us. Well, guess what – there is something that can address any problem that comes our way – but you won’t find it in the fridge or in the pantry. It’s God, and his word has something to say about every need, every concern that we have.

Is there a situation requiring some discipline? The bible will tell you how to handle it. Worried about taking your next exam? God’s word has something for you. Do you want to learn how to extend grace to those around you? Go to God’s word, and seek the truth that addresses your need. It’s in there, I promise.

We look to the world for cure all’s and quick fixes. Lord, teach us to instead turn to your word for answers to the questions in our lives. 🌻💗
