Embracing Adventure

"Does God call us to adventure? If so, adventure by its nature requires dangerous risk. In tumultuous times, how can we confront our fears? Over and over in the Bible when an angel appears, his first words are, 'Fear not.' The angels bring news of what God is up to. 'Perfect love casts out fear.'

Life as adventure? It's a matter of faith. The truth is, we're all plopped down in circumstances that can threaten, dishearten, or even overwhelm us. Yet most of us also have many good things happening around us. Only as we see life as an adventure from God do we experience life's tang and purpose.

Psalm 37:23 says, 'The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Through the stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.'"
