There’s NEVER any Risk with God!
Most days, I know what the Seeds Of Faith post is going to be about by early morning, if not before then. But this morning I had no idea what I’d write about and had actually shared that with a couple of the FAM Fellowship members when another member emailed today’s devotional from John Walker, A Risky Obedience. And as soon as I read it, I knew why I didn’t know what to write about earlier today, and that this was it; especially since this is perfect confirmation of recent conversations with several fellowship members, including the one who sent it!
Though I’ve never heard anyone else actually associate risk with faith, a willingness to take risks truly is the essence of what faith requires; because if we KNOW the outcome, faith is not needed. Yet, fear of an unknown outcome is what so many men and women standing for marriage restoration really struggle with, which is why “letting go” is so hard! So let’s all ask the Lord to help us always trust Him enough to put our faith to the test and not be afraid to take risks as we rely on the power and promise of His Word and His unfailing faithfulness to bring it to pass in our lives. While I’ve often said that walking by faith is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute and trusting God to catch us, I like what John Walker says about taking risks even better. This is just such a simple and powerful message, so I hope and pray that everyone reading it will take it to heart, because when we stop being afraid to take risk as we trust and obey God, we will truly be blessed and encouraged…and discover that there’s NEVER any Risk with God!
