Today's session is about risks. The author talks about how we settle and don't risk for greatness in our lives -- heeding God's call. His point is that the things which we are called to and put off only keep our lives safe, comfortable, and (worst of all) mediocre. He quoted C.S. Lewis who said "too often we're like children who settle for playing in mud puddles when the beauty and immensity of the ocean are just a few feet away." Let that sink in. God has an ocean for us to play in. But, we have to take risks to get to it. He concludes with the thought that if we only had a month to live we wouldn't be worried about failing or wasting time, because regret would outweigh both of them. I would add that in God's economy there is no such thing as failure. God uses all of our experiences to make a mosaic.
Some times we have to let go of our plans to embrace God's plans for us. And, God will never disappoint us.
Take a moment and ask what God would have you risk today.
