Word for the day "Are you taking any Risk"

I Samuel 19:5 (NLT) Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill the Philistine giant and how the Lord brought a great victory to all Israel as a result? You were certainly happy about it then. Why should you murder an innocent man like David? There is no reason for it at all!”At this point in my life, I am convinced that life without risk isn't much of a life. There's a certain comfort in predictability. But it's the kind of comfort you don't find when you are moving and growing. It's the comfort you find in hibernation or being complacent and apathetic. What risk are you taking these days?If you have followed sports or been around athletes, you know that an athlete regularly stretches his muscles to the point where they burn. Otherwise these muscles become inflexible, unresponsive, and easily fatigued. The same is true with your spirit and soul. It must be regularly stretched for the optimal effort to be accomplished. Failure to do so gives you comfort in the short term, but ultimately leaves you emotionally and spiritually unfit in the long-term.Connecting, loving, and pursuing dreams, all require risk and energy! Yes, you'll be stretched to the point of discomfort. Yes, you may experience some hurt and disappointment at times. But these are far better alternatives than the loneliness, boredom, and quiet desperation that accompany a life without risk. Are you taking Risk in your life? Let's go it's time to begin!Point to ponder- As we see in today’s reading sometimes your risk are recognized and other times they can put your life in jeopardy as it did David. But without any risk taken, there can't be any victory or reward in your life!Quote- Will Rogers "You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is."For His Glory,Pastor James Baker, Jr.
