What if the greatest risk you face isn’t what you think?
If we listed our current top five fears (or does concerns sound like more acceptable Christianeze?), I suspect most of us would have lists like this:
- Will I have enough money?
- Will that relationship work out?
- Will I find healing for this physical body I’m stuck with?
- Will the right people like and accept me?
- Will anyone find out that I’m actually an idiot?
Well, maybe some of us don’t worry about that last one as much as we should. But the reality is this: all but one of those fears is already in the process of fading away. The Apostle Paul said it best:
The things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
For FaithWalkers, only relationships will last beyond our brief tour of this earth. And even those often come and go throughout our brief stay. How many of us lived our high school and college years consumed with what our peers thought of us – only to seldom, if ever, see them once we passed that season of life?
