Taking a RISK

• Luke 8:48 (MSG)

---

Have you ever taken risks in life? To take a risk means to do something that may result in loss or failure. Every time you invest your money in stocks, you are taking a risk.

Risk is part of life. It allows you to move forward and have new experiences. Risk is also part of faith. It allows you to move into uncharted territory to grow or challenge your faith. When you step out in faith, you are taking a risk.

What is important about risk is this: your tolerance level to failure or loss. Are you willing to step out in faith and loose it all for God? Can your ego take 'failure'? Can your confidence in God risk not getting the results you are praying for? Will you take action in God knowing that you might fail and lose?

The goal of having faith in God is to come to a place in life where you are not afraid of failure. If you take a risk and fail, your faith and love for God will be as strong or stronger. Take a risk, go it all out and who cares if you fail trying something new for God. Do it. This is your day to experience God's power in your life!
