DAY FIVE
Seeing Life from God's View
Unless you are faithful in small matters,
you won't be faithful in large ones.
Luke 16:10
Point To Ponder: Like is a test and a trust
Question To Consider: What has happened to me recently that I now realize was a test from God? What are the greatest trust God has entrusted to me?
When I read this chapter, I felt like a total failure. Yes, I know, it isn't something I should feel. I feel like I have failed God in the sense of my finances. I feel this is the biggest test God has given me. For some reason no matter how well I keep the checkbook, something always happens that causes me to go in the negative. For instance, we had paid a bill early. Well, we called the company to stop the regular payment. I thought everything was ok, so I used that money to pay other bills. To make a long story short, the company took the payment out anyway. I was devastated. It was a 200 dollar mistake. I cried for days. I did pray, but I felt like God was a million miles away. I knew everything was going to be ok. A friend of ours let us borrow the money. We didn't ask he just did it. I truly believe it was the answer to my prayer.
I am not sure how to answer "What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me? I just don't know.
