As I read day 5 I like to look at the second part of what Warren writes, "Life on earth is a Trust." I especially liked how he puts it on page 45. "Our culture says, "If you don't own it, you won't take care of it." But Christians live by a higher standard: "Because God owns it, I must take the best care of it that I can."(page 45)
I understand what he is trying to say in the first part about life being a test. ...but as I look at life I feel God doesn't so much give us tests as God gives us the answer. I think we see that even more so in this Holy Week. I feel John 3:16 makes it so clear, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16-17)
As yo read the questions I would rather look at the first question in this way, "How did God help me answer one of the tests of life?" I think the second question is great for us to think about this week, "What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?" (page 46)
