HIS POWER AND GLORY DISPLAYED BY YOUR RISK TAKING

                                     

That is what you are asking me to do? Putting myself out there for everyone to see? Taking a risk just to see if this is truly a work of God or if this was just something I imagined in my mind that the Lord is calling me to do. At this point and time, the what if game began to play through my mind.

Ø  What if I fail? What if I get halfway through and run out of things to write about?

Ø  What if the finances don't come in to support this and we get it completed only to find out that we just wasted our time?

Ø  What if I get my eyes off the Lord and put something in the book that doesn't make sense?

Ø  What if I lead someone astray?

Ø  What if I spend so much time doing this book that I neglect my family's needs?

   About halfway through my little "What if?" the Lord allowed me to read something my husband had in his truck. "Risk taking shows you how to intentionally live in such a way that you take risks of faith, relying on God, to accomplish what He wants alone."

We need to act in dependence on God, despite feelings of discomfort or fear, trusting that He will bridge the gap between what you can do and what only He can do through you. When he bridges that gap with a miraculous occurrence, his power and glory are on display.

Once again the prayer that came to my lips weeks ago returned. "I am willing to put myself on the line to allow you to do the impossible through me."Here am I Lord, use me."

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. (I Corinthians 4:10)
