THE SAFETY OF RISK TAKING*

Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people" (Luke 5:10).

What is your top prayer request? Is it "God, keep us safe" or "Watch over us and protect us" or "Keep my life rolling smoothly"?

God is good, but He is also dangerous and He calls those who follow Him into danger. It is one of life's great paradoxes that following the Lord into great danger is the safest place you can be.

Perhaps one of our top prayer requests should be, "Father, help me to take risks for Jesus."

Grace&Peace,
Tom
