Day 5: Seeing Life from God's View
1. God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment and even the weather!
2. Life is a test, life is a trust, life is a temporary assignment.
3. You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism and even senseless tragedies.
4. God test faith through problems, test hope by how you handle possessions and test love through people.
5. When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in life. Even the smallest incident has a significance for your character development.
6. God wants you to pass the test of life, so he never allows the tests you face to be greater than the grace he gives you to handle them.
7. Those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust.
8. The more God gives you, the more responsible he expects you to be.

Day 4: Made to last forever
1. Thy will be done.
2. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.
3. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achievements or even fun. I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Chris has done.
4. You may feel its morbid to think about death but actually its unhealthy to live in denial of death and not consider what is inevitable. Only a fool would go through life unprepared for what we all know will eventually happen.
5. If you have a relationship with God through Jesus, you dont need to fear death.
