"Even though I walk

    through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

    for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

    they comfort me."

Psalm 23:4

"Those who know your name trust in you,

    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

Psalm 9:10

"Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."

John 12:26

Are you often called out of your comfort zone?  I was convicted when I read this quote from the devo today:

"Your desire to live a risk-free life is a form of unbelief."

Although I know that the quote was not a direct quote from the Bible, it is a biblical principle.  The one that sticks out in my mind about taking risks for Christ is:

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me...' "  Matthew 16:24

Sorry I got a little wordy today....today's devo struck a nerve with me.

Until next time...

Blessings!
