“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” T.S. EliotSo often I hesitate unsure of God’s will for a given situation or a project I’m about to start. But if I would trust God to withhold His help if it’s not His will for me, or to support it with His grace for success when it is in His will for me, then I might be more willing to tackle great tasks for God’s kingdom. I wouldn’t be crippled by thoughts of, “I’m not able to…” or “Who am I to do…?” In all honesty, I don’t have to wait. There are at least two projects hovering in the back of my mind that are waiting for just such a step of faith. I will commit to you – my readers – right now, that I will tackle one of these projects today. It may be a while before I see where it goes and whether God either removed obstacles or closes doors. But I will report back to you when I learn. Until then…. Are you struggling with taking risks? Is there a task hovering just outside your conscious thoughts trying to get your attention? What will you do this week to take a step of faith and see if God opens the way to success? Lord, thank you for quotes that inspire and encourage me to go beyond my comfort zone and into a new realm of grace and blessing. Amen “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 What are your thoughts? Libby
