Glorifying God by Taking Risks
Andree Seu is one of my favorite writers. She is real and raw, and writes from a distinctively grace-aware perspective. Her latest entry in WORLD Magazine is entitled "Taking Risks for the Gospel: It's Better to Make a Fool of Yourself Than to Play It Safe." Sounds like a church planter slogan to me. : ) Anyway, in that article she says something that I need to hear.
"God is glorified in the difference between our natural ability and His miraculous power. Risk-taking is nothing fancy, just an everyday pressing into the little things that we have no confidence of doing without the help of God."
Where is God's miraculous power in my life? Maybe I see so little because I usually play it safe, in the bounds of what I believe I can do. What is something that I cannot do, or seem fearful to do? Share the gospel... Give generously and sacrificially... Confess... Forgive? Then for the glory of God, let me go attempt that.
