Hello again MKs!
I have a question for you today. What are you willing to risk? That is a tough question to answer, isn’t it? Generally, the very next thing you will think is “that depends on what I am going to gain.” There is a game show on TV here in America. I think it is called “Deal or No Deal.” Contestants are asked to risk all their winnings for the possibility of winning more! What if they were guaranteed to win the maximum prize?
A couple months ago, I wrote to you about being “passionate for your world.” The very first thing that I said was “you have to BELIEVE A GREAT DREAM! When you are thinking about your future and what you want to become – you set goals for yourself! You should have high expectations. It should be something GREAT!”
Once you have a dream on your heart; once you believe that you know where God is directing; once you believe that you have some direction – then you will need to step out in faith. Your dream can be as simple as believing that God wants you to witness to someone in your class. It can also be something as major as believing that you know what God wants you to do with the rest of your life! Once you have some direction that you believe God wants you to go in – you have to step out in faith! If we never step out in faith, then we will never see the great results that God wants us to see. This is the second step – being willing to RISK EVERYTHING for what God is calling you to do!
As MKs, you have a unique perspective on this, since your parents have a dream, or vision, for what God wants them to do. Your parents have risked everything. They have given up the security of family, a steady paycheck, and a comfortable culture. They have a dream, and they are pursuing it. Those are your parents. Where do you stand?
My challenge to each one of us today is simple. What is your dream & how much are you willing to risk seeing that dream fulfilled? I can say that you will never be disappointed with the results from risking everything for God! Let’s see what great things that God is going to do through you! Go ahead. Step out in faith!
I would love to hear from you. Are there areas in your life that you believe God is challenging you to step out in? Do you feel like God is asking you to do something, but it is a bit scary? Let me know, and I will pray with you that God will direct you!
