I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow youThe unknown is scary. I like knowing how things work, knowing what tomorrow looks like, knowing why something happened. It's safe to say that I much prefer knowing.
Into the unknown
All too often, God calls us into spaces where knowing isn't an option. Where we can't see more than a step ahead. Where our only choice is faith. He calls us into the unknown. And that's a risk for us, because what we don't know, we can't control. And what we can't control tends to make us afraid.
But as one of my favourite quotes says, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." Known in the sense he is intimately involved in my life and loves me more than I could ever know. And more than that, that he is all-knowing and in absolute control of everything. I can know him, and leave the knowing of everything else to him.
Will we risk it all for the One who gave his all for us and follow him into the unknown?
