Dearly beloved readers I was impressed in my heart by the Holy Spirt to share what I recently read .

If and when you pursue your God given potential , you will find yourself in circumstances and situations that require decisions and directions. The ultimate truth is the infinite God who we serve sees beyond , knows all is hard to comprehend with our finite mind .

When we trust God in all things, choices, relationships, decisions and beyond a significant amount of risk is involved . The very nature of risk is Faith.

Our belief in God who we cannot see but experience.

Our faith in his promises to work to our benefit, even when we cannot understand that which has to occur to get us from the current to where we hope to be .

Our faith in the love of Christ to transform us in ways we cannot imagine or expect .

Let me bring you to memory the greatest risk taker of all time. Jesus after his miracle of feeding the 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and two fishes went up to the mountain to pray . The disciples were to meet Jesus on the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

In the gospel of Matt 14:24-28 we read . In the fourth watch of the night, the sea being rough tossed the boat the disciples were in. Jesus went to them walking on the water. The disciples fear being a ghost. Jesus speaks be not afraid . Peter answers Lord if it is you. command me to come to you on the water. Jesus bid him come and immediately Peter stepped on the water to go to Jesus. That day of all the disciples only Peter Risked everything, leaves his boat ( signifies our current circumstances and situations) and walks in Faith towards Jesus. The only person besides Jesus to walk on water. Would you have been willing to take that Risk?

After Jesus ascended into heaven. This experience of Peter I believe would have deepened his faith and boldness to exercise this faith to greater risks . From our perspective what we see as risk of loss or damage. When our Faith in Him , to break free. God strengthens our character and Faith to overcome. It’s worth the Risk in God .

Blessings
