day 5

Seeing life from God's view.

The way you see your life shapes your life. How you define life determines your destiny. Your unspoken life metaphor influence your life more than you realize. It determines your expectations, your values, your relationship, your goals, and your priorities.

Bible offer three metamorphs that teach us God's view of life : Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment.

1. Life is a test. We don't know all the tests God will give you, but we can predict some of them, based on Bible. You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved critism, and even senseless tragedies. When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your lifes. Even the smallest incident has significance for your character development.

2.Life is a trust. Our time on earth and our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationship, and resources are all gifts from God that he has entrusted to our care and management. We are stewards of whatever God gives us. We never really own anything during our brief stay on earth. God just loans the earth to us while we're here. At the end of our life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
