Risk

What kind of risk is involved in following God?

God’s Response

“Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You will lead my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”“But who am I to appear before Pharaoh?” Moses asked God. “How can you expect me to lead the Israelites out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:10-11

Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant, and I am willing to accept whatever he wants. May everything you have said come true.” Luke 1:38

When God asks you to follow him, he often doesn’t give all the information about what is happening right away. When you step out in faith, he gives guidance as you go. Moses risked his life by approaching Pharaoh and leading the Israelites out of captivity. Mary risked her marriage, her reputation, and her future by becoming the mother of Jesus. Following God’s will is not without risks; the only thing more risky than trusting God is not trusting him!

God’s Promise

Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by any evil. Psalm 119:133
