Taking a Risk

Dormant.  Or maybe another word that can be used is stagnant.  In moments of inactivity it is harder to see God (my personal opinion).  God is much easier to see in the midst of activity.  Whether that activity is ministry work, tragedy, or blessing it is easier to see God in these moments.  One of the best ways to see God is to take a little risk.  Not the foolish kind of risk (for more on this see Proverbs) but the living-like-Christ kind.  The letting your light shine kind of risk.  The, "I will trust you in this because it makes no earthly sense to me" kind of risk.  This might mean going on a mission, giving a large gift, diving into a ministry area, making a commitment to volunteer a number of hours, making a confession etc.  In our group we call this the BSS or Big Scary Step.  For Abraham it was the first steps leaving his home country.  For Peter it was the first step out of the boat.  What will it be in your life?
