Book Club: Purpose Driven Life Ch 5: Seeing Life from God's View


Warren says that one question he finds have many different answers as there are many different people and that question is "How do you see your life?" He has heard answers of comparing life to a circus, ten speed, rollar coaster, puzzle, dance, symphony and the list goes on. The bible list three metaphors that teach us God's View: Life is a test, Life is trust, and Life is a temporary assignment.


He says we are on daily tests to prove our love and beleif in God from opening the door for others, to treating a clerk, to managing our finances. These are all tests no matter how small or insignificant we think they are, they are actually big in the eyes of God.


Point to Ponder: Life is a test and trust


Verse to Remember: "Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful in large ones."


Question to Consider: What has happened to me recently that I know realize was a test from God? What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?
