We took our son to the ENT yesterday. He has had speech and language delay / he is prone to ear infections / he has been failing the tymponogram tests. I was putting so much hope and expectation on this one visit to find a solution to his problems.
Both girls ended up coming with us. Buzz Lightyear was a gem of a kid; the baby needed a little attention; Nancy Drew had her nose stuck in a book. The doctor came in. He was very nice. Checked his ears; prescribed nasonex and to “come back in 6 weeks.”
Wait! that’s it??? I’m not satisfied. My questions are still unanswered and I’m not certain you’ve assessed the situation properly. My son is not fixed! I felt so unsettled leaving the office.
Isn’t that how it is with the Lord sometimes? He gives us a plan of action, but we aren’t ready to act on it. We want more. Fix it now without the trouble. “Have You looked at it from my angle, Lord? Maybe you’ll see it differently” The Bible says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
The truth is we don’t know yet if the doctor’s prescription will work or not. He may or may not have assessed the situation properly (although he was extremely patient with me, and he did try help me understand). But he knows a whole bunch more than I do about ears and how they work – he’s the head of the department for crying out loud!
But God is always right on! He always assesses the situation properly. His ways are higher than our ways. He knows a whole bunch more about it than I do – He’s the Creator of the Universe for crying out loud!
