Risky Business

Good Morning Thrive! The following verse from today's One Year Bible reading stood out to me.

http://bible.us/116/MRK15.43.NLT  Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.)

I love the phrase,  "took a risk". His faith compelled him to take a risk.  Because of his risk,Joseph has the most famous tomb in history; the one that housed the resurrection! 

How about you? Is your faith pressing you forward? Is there any risk in your spiritual walk? Where are you being compelled to take a "leap of faith"? After all, a life of faith can be risky business.

My Prayer for Today :Lord, I pray against fear and doubt in the Thrive church family. May we be known as a people willing to risk it all for our faith. May trust and belief be what we are known for.

Amen
