Summary: When I'm sick, I don't want to take the time to go to the doctor. But, recently my fever was so bad that my wife said I had to go. As I sat in the little room, all weighed and measured and blood pressurized, I waited. Then I waited some more. And some more. I sent a text. I called my wife. I absent-mindedly flipped through a magazine. I was frustrated. What was taking them so long?Then it hit me, the doctor knew I was there but there were things going on that I couldn't see. In another room, there may have been an emergency. Another patient may have needed more time because of a serious condition. I needed to trust that the doctor was coming and would make the call as to the proper time.Life can be like this. Often it is. We must learn to wait patiently and not put our trust in our timetables but rather have faith that God is working in His time. We can't see the entire picture. If it seems like it's taking forever for a friend to come to know Jesus Christ, be patient. God sees everything and He is working. Continue to pray but don't stress. God is at work and knows all things. In His time and in His way, everything will work together for good. Just be patient and be faithful. God will do the rest.
