Job 9&10; Acts 13&14


Rhino....... Risk.......... Running further than I can see............. Risky.... words I keep hearing, seeing, writing and praying about....I live safe and cautious, I have lived that way and now this call..........this call??.....I've slowed down, not sure why or when and maybe that's all good- but what about now??

Job 9:10 We'll never comprehend all the great things He does; his miracle-surprises can't be counted....

I've lived safe because I won't take RISKS, not because of Your blessings, Your protection...?? It's not that I am sorry, not grateful for my life, my blessings Abba...I am...I am just sorry to not have trusted You more in RISK ~ to not have tried things out of fear instead of hiding in it. Sorry to have lived so focused on me and mine and THAT protection rather than in prayer and THAT VERY protection I sought, live to serve You and others...It's not risky to live focused on me and mine, truth is...I don't know any other way???

In Job 10 Job asking God "Don't you remember how beautifully you worked my clay?" What if...until the day we die You are working us?? What if I am being worked right now? What if YOU are working beautifully all of us who love Christ?!!! .......... There is nothing here I am going to figure out...that I want to shows my lack of faith to live IN RISK...for Risk to be RISK means there would be NO figuring it out..just movement IN FAITH...responsively obedient moving...

Acts 13:2 One day as they were worshipping God - they were also fasting as they WAITED for guidance..... 43~ who urged them in long conversations to STICK w/what they'd started, this living in and by God's grace.
48~who were marked out for real life...!! 50~ their precious way of life was about to be destroyed.


RISKY and UNSAFE the life of a Disciple of Christ and RISKY believer...'ripe for God's work'

Only you know Abba...our hearts...our minds...our readyness...

And I TRUST.....I want what You want for us for YOUR Glory...

A pot...a pile of clay...whatever...I am Yours Abba.....
