Recently a friend and I were trying to work through a thorny issue. We were at a painful and frightening place. "I wish God would just hit Fast Forward," my friend exclaimed. I got spiritual and replied that I was just glad that He wouldn't hit "rewind."
Clever? Maybe. But I am really the one who always gets impatient. As I face this next series of medical tests I want HIM to hit "Fast Forward." I also want to write the ending. The next scene would clearly conclude: "No Cancer."
I can neither control the pace of the next few days nor the outcome of Wednesday's biopsy. So, I rest on the One I know to be both Good and Wise. And I ask HIM to keep me patient and keep me well. How I wish I could take possession of the remote. But He loves me too much to let that happen.
