The Greatest Danger

"During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk."
--Soren Kierkegaard

I found myself staring at this quote on a computer screen last night on one of my random quote reading explorations. Sometimes I wonder, have I ever taken any serious risks? What is "the risk" that God is calling me (and you) to right now? Is it more dangerous to take a risk, or not to take one?
Oh Jesus, help us to see You as the greatest Risk-taker of all. And yet, in leaving your indestructable home, You found the greatest safety in doing the simple will of your Father, and living and dying among us. Help us, oh help us, we pray! to walk with You--to step into the uncertainty of life that is truly Life!
