It's something I still struggle with-- taking that leap of faith, not knowing the complete picture, completely relying on God. I don't think I've ever been in such an explicit situation as Ananias was- that involved taking a risk that could have cost him his life. But I can imagine that when I encounter such a challenge, it would be a real test of faith as to whether I can go "Ok God, I know this what you want me to do, I don't like the odds, but here we go!" And I guess that's really what this risk taking thing is all about- it's about God giving us this opportunity to know for real, how strong is our relationship with Him. Every time we take a risky move, knowing that it is God's will, we fully rely on Him and when we succeed, we have experienced firsthand, God's ultimate planning and our trust and faith in Him grows.
Dear God,
Thank you for this devotion. Although I have not yet experienced this so strongly, I pray that I be given such an opportunity to advance my relationship with you-- so that my faith in You grows. I know that You will never let me down when such situations arise. May Your Name be praised forever. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
