His Perfect Timing

I wrote to you yesterday about my fear of not being able to persevere. This morning I received the following e-mail (actually someone sent it to me last Saturday and I saw and opened it for the first time today ;)

THE FOUR BLESSED LOOKS
Look back and thank God.
Look forward and trust God.
Look around and serve God.
Look within and find God.

I asked God, 'How do I get the best out of life?'
God said: 'Face your past without regrets,
Handle your present with confidence
And prepare for the future without fear!'

Leave it all in His loving hands. His timing is always perfect.

I love you.

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." -Isaiah 30:41 KJV

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." -James 2:2-8 NIV
