I want to encourage the reader to keep the faith. Life is full of risks. Some would say that having faith comes with certain risks. If one doesn’t exercise faith, they take a chance on missing out on the life that God has for them. We all are going to take certain risks and that is ok. Trusting God should be a risk that we all must be willing to take. I read a passage recently and the writer spoke on taking risks. I know I am going to probably mess this up. He said to weep is to risk coming across as being too sentimental, to laugh is to risk coming across as a fool, To love is to risk not being loved in return, and to try is to risk failing. If you risk nothing, then you do nothing. Let’s consider it a privilege for us to walk in faith with God. It places us in a place for HIM to do great things through us. And if you fall… So What.. Get up and try again. The heroes of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11 would have never been considered heroes if they never stepped out on faith..
Hebrews 11: 32-34
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
