Walking With God

Walking with God is risky business. The study of His Word and fellowship with Him demonstrates that He orchestrates every event, circumstance, and experience of life. He transforms life in a way that enables us to take the risks necessary to follow Him.

Risking is stepping into the unknown, but that which is completely known by God. Stepping into the unknown does not mean stepping into oblivion. It means stepping into the known will of God - something you may not see right now as tangible but something more real that life itself. It requires stepping into His hand - the trusted hand of a faithful friend.

Why does the Christian life involve risk? Because everything seems risky when our natural instincts are opposed. God's ways and thoughts are not our own. Often, the directions of His will seem unnatural and uncomfortable. That's because they are supernatural. The Spirit of God is the only one who can give us the power to complete them.

The more we rely on God alone in every aspect of life, the more we experience His power.
