Why Psychological Solutions, Not Biblical Solutions

Thought for Meditation

Why do so many of God's own people today 
seek after psychological and pharmaceutical solutions 
to their emotional, mental, and behavioral problems, 
rather than follow after Biblical and spiritual (Holy Spirit directed) solutions? 

Psalm 19:7-11 
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: 
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: 
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: 
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: 
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Psalm 119:9-11 
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? 
By taking heed thereto according to thy word. 
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalm 119:49-56 
Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

Psalm 119:92-93 
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

Psalm 119:97-104 
O how love I thy law!  It is my meditation all the day. 
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: 
for they are ever with me. 
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 119:114
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Psalm 119:129-131 
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

Psalm 119:165
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

John 15:4-5
Abide in me, and I in you. 
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; 
no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 
I am the vine, ye are the branches: 
He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: 
for without me ye can do nothing.

Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, 
and ye need not that any man teach you: 
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, 
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
