Have you ever sat in Sunday School, Wednesday Night Bible Study, Worship Service or anywhere else while the Word of God is being taught and felt every last word being spoken is directed at you and only you?
Well, that's the kind of thing that's been happening to us lately. For the past few weeks as we've sat in various Bible Studies, we have felt very singled out. I suppose every one feels the same way at different times, but for us it has been every single time and very clearly stated. It's funny though neither one of us had talked about it specifically until last night when hubby asked me if there was any one thing in the past few weeks that I felt God saying to me. We both realized quickly that in the past few weeks God's message has been clear -- risk. I'm not talking about us being risky, I'm talking about putting yourself on the line. I don't believe that God expects us to behave or partake in risky behavior, but I do believe that he wants us to put ourselves on the line for him and take a step of faith.
Right now we're not putting ourselves at risk, but we are taking a step of faith. Our lives, our regular routines and what we've known is about to change. We're taking off on a different path, trusting God and waiting on his will to be revealed. We have no clue what he has in store for us -- individually and as a family, but he promises in his word, "I know the plans I have for you."
I hope and pray today you hear God speaking to you and that you follow him with great abandon.
