acute coryza
I can’t believe I’ve contracted the viral illness - acute coryza. For the past few days I had pyrexia and chills, rhinorrhoea, injected pharynx, cough and expectoration of sputum, accompanied by lethargy, malaise, myalgia and even some arthralgia. It has really disrupted my functional capacity, and there is no medication that can cure it, only symptom relief.
In other words, I’ve got the common cold.

Doesn’t the unknown scare us sometimes. The unfamiliar is always disproportionately magnified, because we feel insecure when we don’t know. Ignorance is bliss except when it’s not.
When catastrophe strikes, and the future feels like a string of incomprehensible medical lingo… God knows exactly what it is. So trust Him. Put your life in His hands.
"For His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
And He knows the solution: rest, and drink more fluids.
Isn’t it amazingly paradoxical how REST can be the most powerful position and posture sometimes, and yet we always think of what we should DO.
Isaiah 30:15 - "in repentance and rest is our salvation, in quietness and trust is our strength."
Be still, and know that He is God (Ps 46:10)
And let us drink deep from Him, and we will be like trees planted by streams of living water, bearing fruit in due season, and our leaves never withering. (Psalm 1)
REST AND DRINK LOTSA FLUIDS…
