When we encounter conflict or injustice, we want resolution. Now. Wanting this life to resemble Heaven is a God-given desire. But the fact is we're not home yet.
Waiting is part of God's plan. It takes time for babies to mature, for seasons to change, for fruit to ripen, and sometimes for prayers to be answered. Having to wait on God's timing reminds us that God is not our genie in a bottle. He's our sovereign Lord.
UPDATE: My follow up visit with Dr. Shaw went well. I no longer have a swollen optic nerve. Praise God! I do have another thing going on which is called Optic Nerve Drusen, in both eyes. This condition cannot be cured. They are an abnormal build up of protein and calcium in the nerve. So, because I have two things going on, the Optic Neuritis and the Optic Nerve Drusen, I have to be patient and let my eye continue to heal for three more months. After the three months, Dr. Shaw will do another vision field test to see if my vision has returned to normal. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HEALING!
When God wanted to see if the Israelites would obey His commands, He led them the long, hard way in the wilderness. He sometimes does the same with us. He may ask us to do something inconvenient. God may be using these things to test us. He my be looking to see what's in our hearts and give us a chance to prove how much we love Him.
If you are impatient for a situation to change, pray for perspective, do what you can, then trust Good for resolution in His time and in His way. And remember, whatever God leads you to do, He will provide the power you need to see it through.
Blessings,
Dalinda
