Notes:
The way you see your life shapes your life ... Your perspective influences how you invest your time, money, talents and relationships
Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world ... Complete change of your mind
Life is a test ... Trials, temptations, refining, testing .. Character developed and revealed .. God watches responses to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment ... Major challenges, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism and senseless tragedies
God tests faith through problems, hope by possessions and love through people
... Nothing is insignificant .. Deepen character, demonstrate love and depend on God
Not tested beyond power to remain firm
Life is a trust
Our time on Earth, our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships and resources are gifts from God .. Everything is a trust placed in our hands
3 rewards ... Affirmation (well done), promotion and celebration
Money is a test and a trust .. Relationship between how I use money and my spiritual life
Thoughts
Not sure about God constantly testing me, but do accept he provides the grace to endure problems and trials ... Money is a huge test .... God wants total counter culture response from us here!
Am I making the most of the gifts God has given me? Can you ever? Can see why some were drawn to monastic living as they try to step out of worldly values and influences.
