Faith In God

Risk taking sounds adventurous. Risk taking sounds courageous. Risk taking sounds glamorous. But these days risk taking just sounds scary to me.

By why? An article I read recently said that we're not really taking a risk unless we stand to lose a lot. Hmmm... We like to think we're adventurous and willing to step out in courage, but at the end of the day most of us just want to be safe, secure, and comfy.

Our economy is stumbling and people are scared. So pursuing a dream that God has placed in our hearts is even more challenging. Do we continue to follow him through uncertainty and turbulent times? Do we willingly make the sacrifices he asks, trusting that everything will be OK? Or do we give up and take the easier road to a more secure future?

I guess it comes down to this - great risk requires great faith. What do you think?
