This has been very close to my heart the last couple of months. Risk taker, crazy things happen when you become this. This always implicates to get out of your comfort zone, go to the unknown, pulling your sleeves up. Its like going sky diving, you have made all of the safety precautions and make sure that your parachute is working properly, but when you jump, you are taking the risk of hoping your parachute will function before you hit the ground. I have a hard time being a risk taker, I have a family, wife, 2 kids and another on the way. its hard for me because everything that I do will affect them. I have prayed about this, and find that in the scriptures, most of the people that followed God wholeheartedly were risk takers. David vs Goliath, that is just insane, a giant vs a midget, full metal armor vs a sling shot. David was a risk taker, he put his faith in God and trusted that God will deliver him from that fight. the apostles most being fishermen, dropped everything they had to follow Christ, that is risk taking, you go to the unknown, out of your comfort zone and trust, having faith that God will provide. I am getting close, but its a struggle I must face everyday. I want to be a risk taker, and believe and trust that God will not only take care of me but my wife and children as well.
Are you a risk taker? What has God asked you to risk?
