Day 5 - Seeing Life from God's View
You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies.
Just looking at that list I know I have failed miserably at some tests... and others I feel like I trust God with. I wish I was more aware of the situation and able to lean more on God instead of realizing later that was test.
Life is a test and a trust.
Luke 16:10
I like how you said something about wishing you could know before you figure out that it was a test. is that what you meant? knowing that what is happening is a test before you look back and think you could have aced the test by knowing the answers, but because you didnt you got a C? wow I dunno if that makes sense to you cuz I dont really know how to type out what im thinking and making sense at the same time. haha.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about having a "job" in heaven. Not sure why cuz I know I wont just be an angel flyin about willy nilly, but never thought that how i treat life hear will affect the kind of life I have in heaven. I feel like when I clean house now, I should imagine Jesus coming over for dinner everytime. Why should I have a messy life on earth, God won't want me to keep a mess in heaven right? I have to start living my life in the way God wants everyday, not just think about him being around on sunday or when I pray, but there all the time. Right?
first of all "willy nilly" made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly. I meant that I could have realized it was a test in the middle of the test and aced it. Realizing afterwards is like dang it, I didn't trust God until I was out of the storm. It's easy to look back and see God's ways. It's hard to look at the crappy situation and trust that God is in control.
And about being messy... idk I hope I'm not a cleaning lady in heaven.
