Cancer Treatments

Habakkuk 2:3 - For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay.


Back in 2007 when I was going through my 7 weeks of radiation and chemo treatments for my cancer, I had a lot of time home alone. It was an opportunity for me to spend time with God, and more importantly
in His Word. During my Bible reading time, I came across this verse. Next to it I wrote the following...."Wait, trust God. He will settle things in His time."

Of course, I related this to my cancer as it was a long and time-consuming process. There were times as I went through all the treatments, that I felt like giving up as the treatments did take a toll on me physically. But I knew there was an ending date, a time when the procedures would be over with.

So it is in our world today. There are many cancers like evil, injustice, political turmoil, that seem to have the upper hand in our world today. As Christians we often feel angry, discouraged, and helpless. Habakkuk
faced similar issues of his time. God's response to us is the same as it was to Habakkuk..."Be patient! I will work out my plans in my perfect timing." It isn't easy being patient, but it helps to remember that God hates sin more than we do. Just like the healing of my cancer came, punishment of sin will certainly come, but in God's time, not ours. To trust God fully means to trust Him even when we don't understand why events occur as they do.

God Bless
