There was a train crash in the news the other day and two engineers were interviewed separately by two different journalists.
One of the journalists asked the white engineer what happened and whether he was able to help any of the passengers on the train before saving himself. The white engineer narrated how he risked his life to save a lady who almost got caught up in the explosion on the train.
The other journalist asked the black engineer the same question and his answer... was;
"I saw a man trapped under a metal and I would have helped him, but you know I had to ran the safety
:) It was too risky :)
He ran because he saw the risk involved in saving the passenger's life. Most of us are like the black engineer:) We are afraid of taking risks. We would rather stay in our comfort zone. But "comfort zones" are also the first cause of failure and downfall.
In Esther 4:6-17, when Esther was afraid to go and plead with the King on behalf of her people - the Jews, Mordecai reminded her that even though God had made her queen, if she doesn't risk her life to save her people, God would still accomplish His purpose WITHOUT her and she could lose everything including her own life. In the end, Esther mustered courage and did the right thing. So God gave them success.
To be successful in life, you must overcome your fears, overcome whatever holds you back from moving forward and you must be willing to take risks. That risk you are restraining from, may be that ONE opportunity you need to be successful. Someone once said "There's no such thing as zero risk in success". Don't miss out on your destiny by being afraid to take action at the right time. Yes - God WILL BLESS YOU, but you must be WILLING to act when and where He directs. Remember, FEAR has never helped anyone succeed. May God continue to bless you and your families.
****Have a blessed day my friends! ****
