You have to ask yourself some God to honest questions about what you put first in your life and what you deem as valuable. Most people will say my family, my relationship with God, my career goals and accomplishments, my church and the ministry I serve in. But what are you most passionate about? And is it a hobby or is it apart of your destiny? I realized when I was watching the show called "Shark Tank" last night that if you really value something or have a passion for something and it is apart of the very fiber of your being, you are willing to take a risk for it. However, if it is just a hobby you enjoy, but you don't have to do it every day, you will not give up everything for it. So, with that analogy, how do you feel about your relationship with God and the ministry you serve in? Is it just a hobby that you enjoy but your not willing to give up much for it OR is it apart of your destiny and you are willing to take the risk of putting Him first before anything else? For taking risks and giving your all can be scary, and you can receive a lot of flack for doing so from those who are only willing to stay in their comfort zone. On the other hand, the reward in Christ that you receive is GREATER than you could ever imagine and He alone will get the glory and honor you for your commitment to Him! Psalm 50:14-15 says "Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay your vows unto the most High: And call on me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me". He is waiting for you to take that risk, that proverbial "step of faith" and trust Him. Just put God first and give Him all you have. Jump all the way into what He has given you a passion to do and serve Him. For He will take care of the rest and cover you with His protection and glory as you go further into your destiny!
Praying with you as I jump all the way in :)
