Oops, I almost missed day 5 because the tight schedule and extended meetings. But I had to be true to me and to my resolve not to fall back.
Day 5 is about Seeing Life from God's view. Anais Nin said, "We don't see things as they're, we see them as we are". The way you see your life shapes your life. Your destiny is mostly determined by your definition of life. Your perspective will influence how you invest your time, spend money, use your talents and value your relationships.
The Bible offers three things that teach us God's view of life: Life is a test, a trust and a temporary assignment.
God continually tests our character, faith, obedience, love, integrity and loyalty. Tests can come in delayed promises, impossible problems, an answered prayers, undeserved criticism or tragedies. "Tests develop and reveal Character and all of life is a test". The good news is that God never allows the tests you face to be greater than the grace he gives you to handle them. James 1:12 Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Life is a trust. Our life on earth, our time, energy, intelligence, opportunities, resources, relationships and even children are all gifts from God that he has entrusted to our care and management. We never really own anything on this world, we are born naked, come with nothing and when we die, we leave everything behind. Jesus' parable of the Talent, is the best example of trust, so, "the more God gives you the more responsible he expects you to be". God will evaluate our individual responsibility, them after reward accordingly.
He will say, well done good and faithful servant.....
