My favorite: July 14 Risk:
"it has been decided by us . . . to select men and send them to you with out beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Act 15:25-26
'I believe we should live our lives with an enormous spirit of adventure and risk. We only get one trip through life, and I don't want to be old and have nothing but regrets.
We face the struggle between faith and fear. Don't give int to fear of the unknown or of being adventurous-move past it and follow what God places on your heart to do. There will always be critics who tell us our faith is too risky, but don't let them cause you to live a small, boring life. you can fully live today by not giving in to fear or by worrying about tomorrow.
If you step up to the plate, you might strike out, but if you don't try, you will never know the joy of hitting a home run!"
Risk: To venture: to dare to undertake.
