The Great Internist

I went to Relief Society Conference with my Mom while out in Va. Jason Wright was the guest speaker and he told a story of when he had an unexpected trip to a foreign country. He had to get his shots quickly and travel across the world. On the airplane his leg started to swell up and developed a rash. On his layover he saw a doctor who told him to take some aspirin and get it check out when he got home. At his destination they also didn't know what it was. When he got home he went to many doctors but no one knew what was wrong. It got worse and he would have dizzy spells and had a hard time sleeping for many many months. Finally his wife asked him to go see an internist. Internists are the doctors' doctor. When everyone else is stumped, they have the answer. He went to the doctor and the internist took one look at his leg and said "I know what this is" and came back with a book and opened it to the diagnosis. It was a reaction that was 1 in a million to one of the vaccines he got before going on his trip. He prescribed the cure immediately. The doctor said "I wish you had come to me first. I immediately knew the problem and could have given you the cure. I could have saved you months of sleepless nights and all that pain. "

How often do we look everywhere for a diagnosis and prescription to our problems when Heavenly Father already knows what our problems are and how to fix them? We will look everywhere for joy when we know the gospel is what  will bring us real joy.
