How do you see your life? What images come to mind?
Let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind
Life on earth is a Test
Trials, temptations, refining, and testing occurs over 200x in the Bible
Success:
- Abraham - offering his son
- Jacob - working for Rachael
- ...and many others
Failed:
- Adam and Eve - failed when tempted
- David - failed several times
- ...and many others
Your realize that nothing is insignificant, tested by:
- Major changes
- Delayed promises
- Impossible problems
- Unanswered prayer
- Undeserved criticism
God wants you to pass -
James 1:2-3
Life on earth is a Trust
God loans you the earth, we never really own anything
Want to hear: "Well done, good and faithful servant"
God uses finances: As a test (in good times) and a trust (hard times)
