This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we continue in a series called The Foundation of a Life Well Live.

In these teachings, Rick shows us that God has given each one of us something special,

whether it's talent, education, opportunities, ideas, or creativity,

and he wants us to use what he's given us for his glory and for our benefit.

In just a few moments, we're going to tell you how you can get a beautifully illustrated devotional for children by Pastor Rick

that will help them discover how much God loves them and that he has a special plan and purpose for their life.

You can find out more by going to www.pastorrick.com while you listen to today's message.

Or you can just text the word daily to 800, 600, 5,000, 4 for more information.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a message called Your Timing is Everything.

The Bible says in Proverbs 15 verse 18,

losing your temper causes trouble, but staying calm settles arguments.

So that's another time, a second time to be slow is when you're hurt or when you're angry or when you're depressed.

Okay, let me give you another one. Number three, I should move slowly this next year when making a major decision,

when making any major decision. The Bible has a lot to say about this. We can do a whole series on it,

but I'll just save you a whole lot of heartache.

Some of you are in a hurry on a major decision and you're headed into a brick wall.

You get in a hurry to get married and you're going to hit a brick wall.

Let me give you for some of you are in a hurry to get married. Let me give you my best marriage advice.

Two words. This will save you a thousand dollars. Go slow. Go slow.

Go through all four seasons of a year with somebody. See him when they're happy, sad, sick, depressed,

when their stomach's upset, when they're not feeling good. Go through all the seasons of life.
