Worth the Risk

“Faith laughs at impossibilities.” – Smith Wigglesworth

Faith involves a certain degree of risk.  My pastor preached and taught many times over the years that faith can cause you to end up looking foolish following God.  If you are going to have faith, you must be willing to take a risk.  You have to be willing to stand out from the crowd.

As Christians, we are called to be faithful.  Faithful indicates that one is full of faith.  Imagine if you were so faithful that it began to overflow and touch others.  Take a moment to think of all of the ways that you touch people by living a life full of faith.

When you risk your public image, your reputation, and your good name, you take a risk of losing face.  You put such things on the line and trust God, leaving all things in His hands.  You have enough faith to hold on and see things through, even when it seems like things won’t work out for your own benefit or gain.  You trust that God has it all worked out.  You put your faith in Him.  In the end, God gets the glory. 

If God gets the glory, then it all is worth the risk.  Friends may come and go, but God reigns supreme over an everlasting kingdom.  Let the glory be given to God and see that faith is well worth the risk.
