29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me. Philippians 2:29-30
Do you take risks? Some people view risk as doing something out of your comfort zone, while others view risk as something life threatening. Either way, taking risks is something each of us have the opportunity to deal with every day. It may be as simple as taking a risk to get on the highway, or taking a risk to talk to someone you don't know. Do you find living or sharing the Gospel as a risky proposition? In the far past, it was truly a risky behavior, and now some can consider sharing your faith as being risky due to how people react. The risk is not in sharing however, the risk is in the doubt that God is not with you guiding you on your daily path to share the Gospel. If we live with the confidence our Lord and Savior provide us, then sharing the Gospel and our faith is not risky at all. It is just a part of our normal walk. The best way to overcome risky behavior is to remind ourselves that God already took the risks for us in order for us to live with His gift. The riskiest part of your day is ignoring what God has provided, and not showing or sharing it with others.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
