On with the PDL notes here. While it seems a little work based it also seem filled with compassion.

Day 7 PDL Notes-

The way you see your life shapes your life. How do you picture life? That is your life metaphor.

Example- If you view life as a party then your priority in life will be having fun.

Have you ever stopped to think that you may be basing your life on a faulty metaphor?

To fulfill God's purpose for your life you will have to challenge worldly wisdom and replace it with God's.

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This life is a test, trust and temporary assignment.

God will test your character, faith, obedience, love, integrity and loyalty.

Many times throughout the Bible people failed personal tests. We also see people that passed their tests and were blessed.

You will be tested by major changes,delayed promises,impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism and senseless tragedies. When you understand that life is a test you begin to see that nothing in your life happens by chance. The smallest incidents are designed for character development.

1 Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The tests you pass within this time will be rewarded in eternity.

James 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
