God allows us to be challenged and we build our character by focusing on His word. While we may face trials and issues, we are never alone. Through His strength we gain our strength. When I hear the word "test" I always try to remember that there are situations that will build my character. I'm not being tested so I can pass or fail to gain salvation. Instead, salvation is by grace and through faith alone.
As stewards of the earth and the gifts God has given us, we are only tending to something that wasn't ours in the first place. It's like when I used to have a truck and a friend borrowed it to move some furniture. When he brought it back he had filled the gas tank completely and washed it too! He was a good steward. We should be the same way with all that God has given us to tend.
