GOSPEL CONNECTIONS:
Dallin H. Oaks TIMING
Blame the prior administration, reorganize your administration, prepare 3 envelopes
To everything there is a season
Do the right thing at the right time
Trust in the Lord and his timing
Not only thy will be done, but thy timing be done
those who advocate euthinasia
something to be determined only by God
when is just as important as who what where and how
the Lord instructed the 12 not to preach to the gentiles, but to the Lost sheep
continuing revelation shows the Lord's timing
I will hasten my work in its time
polygamy, dietary laws
Events of our personal lives
missionary baptisms and marriage
We should not feel too depressed if things don't happen when we think they should
keep the commandments, then it doesn't matter what else you are doing
Do your best in what is fundamental and useful and then trust in the Lord
Do not rely on planning every event in your life- even important events. Plan it on commitments, eternal principles. Act on those principles. Trust in the Lord.
Take the LONG VIEW.
