Recently I have been challenge with the thought of living a dangerous life, especially in my journey with Jesus.
This challenge was sort of centered around three main ideas. Three truth about living dangerously:
1. I was created (as were you) to live on the edge. (Yes, my immediate thoughts led me to Aerosmith's hit 90's song, "Living on the Edge.")
2. Following Jesus ought to be scary at times.
We see this in 1 Peter 4:12.
3. If you choose to live dangerously, you will have to give up some things in order to gain some other things.
A clear picture of this comes from Luke 9:23-24.
I have really seen the need in my journey to really begin living dangerously! The benefits just enhance LIFE. By living dangerous I will be open to live a LIFE of adventure, have an INTIMATE fellowship with Jesus, my FAITH will be increased, and I will be able to EXPERIENCE miracles. What an incredible return!
Through this challenge I have committed to praying some dangerous prayers (more on that to come). Will you begin living a dangerous life in your walk?
