Begin Looking Beyond

"Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him.  As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."  Hosea 6:3

Today's devotion is all about risk taking; being able to rock the status quo.  I can't say that I'm a huge risk taker but more of a calculated risk taker.  I'll ride any roller coaster that has an over the shoulder harness.  I'm looking forward to one day taking a zip line (with the appropriate safety gear) through a rain forest but stepping off a cliff with no safety net?  Not me.  Some things that others might think is a risk aren't frightening for me.  I don't mind public speaking where others might find it terrifying.

So thinking about taking a risk comes down to the risk/benefit for me.  What do I have to lose?  What do I have to gain?  What's the opportunity cost professionally, personally or spiritually?  If I rock the status quo, am I ready for the consequences?  Is there more to fear than fear itself?

Maybe life should have a safety harness.

Have a great Best Life day!
