I think one of the things we forget is that the Lord is sure to fulfill his promise to each of us and it is His patient toward us that we need to look to. (2 Peter 3:9)
The key is to try to remain steadfast during these times of trial because it is often the testing of time which is what produces the most desirable end result of what God has promised to each of us. (James 1:12)

Sometime it seems as if we tend to fall flat on our faces before we realize we had better not take the jump without looking what's on the other side - eh!
