My God shall supply all my needs
According to His riches in glory
He will give His angels
Charge over me
Jehovah Jireh cares for me, for me, for me
Jehovah Jireh cares for me

No condition is permanent. Nothing is temporary. Nothing is permanent. Everything is temporarily permanent, permanently temporary. It is what it is. It is what it is not. There is no beginning, no end. We are here. Trying to figure it all out. We are here.
Today’s world has reached a state which, if it had been described to preceding centuries, would have called forth the cry: “This is the Apocalypse!”
Yet we have grown used to this kind of world; we even feel at home in it.

According to a shocking report by BBC News, 331 children tested positive for HIV in one single city in Pakistan, likely due to transmission through infected syringes.
These children were diagnosed within a single year in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Investigators ruled out vertical transmission in the majority of cases where mothers tested negative. Staff were seen to reuse syringe bodies (after changing the needle). Medical procedures were commonly performed without gloves. Some children have sadly died of complications of HIV, and the fate of many remains unclear.
An important learning point was found - a syringe contains a needle connected to the syringe body. Even if you change the needle, the syringe body can still be a reservoir for infection. If you see this in your practice, please point it out, as this can avoid an unnecessary tragedy.
Charles Mackay, ‘No Enemies’
You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
@orxsco When calculating drug dosages, weight supersedes age.
It takes precedence over emotions.
Always give the correct dosage and counsel on adverse reactions and side effects.
If administering the correct dose causes you to lose your peace, consider an alternative medication.
@PharmWise It is subjective and largely depends on the specific career path and stage of the pharmacist. In the Nigerian context, due to staff shortages, some early-career pharmacists—especially those in hospital settings—lack a work-life balance, contrary to popular opinion.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, in his 1983 Templeton Prize address, attributed the atrocities and horrors of Soviet Communism to a single cause: ‘Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.’
What, then, can be said of the wars, horrors and inanities in our world today?
All the good things of this world, are but cold comforts. They cannot stretch to eternity, they will not go with us into the eternal world. Therefore why should the lack of such things either trouble our thoughts, or break our hearts?

*“Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:6 (NKJV)*
There are many ways to encourage Christian alertness. One of the best is for believers to talk together about the ways of the Lord. Christian and Hopeful, on their journey to the Celestial City, said to each other: “To prevent drowsiness in this place, let us fall into good conversation.”
Christian asked, “Brother, where shall we begin?” and Hopeful replied, “Where God began with us.” Then Christian sang:
“When saints grow sleepy, let them come here,
And hear how these two pilgrims talk together;
Yes, let them learn from them in every way,
To keep their drowsy eyes awake each day.
Fellowship of saints, if managed well,
Keeps them awake, in spite of hell.”
Christians who isolate themselves and walk alone are very likely to grow spiritually drowsy. But when you keep company with fellow believers, you’ll be kept awake, refreshed, and encouraged to make faster progress toward heaven. As you take “sweet counsel” with others, make sure the focus of your conversation is the Lord Jesus. Keep your eyes of faith fixed on Him, let your heart be full of Him, and let your lips speak of His worth.
Friend, stay close to the cross, and you will not sleep. Remind yourself often of the value of the place you are going. If you remember that heaven is your destination, you will not sleep along the way. If you think of hell behind you and the devil pursuing you, you will not linger. Would a man fleeing for his life sleep with the avenger of blood behind him and the city of refuge before him? Christian, will you sleep while the pearly gates stand open, while angels wait to welcome you, while a crown of gold is ready for your brow?
No, stay awake in holy fellowship. Continue to watch and pray, so that you do not fall into temptation.
