In the midst of the really difficult situations in life, following what you believe God wants you to do is always a risk. It is a risk that you won’t have what you desire greatly come to fruition.

Our mind plays tricks as we fantasize that we could go our own way and for sure get what we want. We could maneuver situations together and yes, we could possibly get the thing that we want so badly.

Doing what we may feel is God’s leading may seem like the self sacrificing option that may not hold any benefit. We may be worried we will give up the things he requires of us and come out empty handed.

Following him in uncertain places feels like a risk. But who else would we rather follow? Do we really have a choice? Is there a better option than him to rule our lives?

I would think not. Taking the risk to follow him is a risk that one should take. At least you’ve cast your lot upon something of value instead of casting our value on any other thing in this world.

During this season of risk while you do what he is leading your heart to do, believe that you serve a Great God who is looking out for you. He will stop you from going down roads that are not for you because you are focused on following his leading and in the end he would have worked out your situation in a way that is satisfying to your soul.

This risk is one you should definitely take.
