By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out without knowing where he was going.
By faith he lived in the land he had been promised as a stranger. He lived in tents along with Isaac and Jacob, who were coheirs of the same promise. He was looking forward to a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 11:7-10
Living fearlessly would not be the most accurate description of my life. I have tended to walk lightly taking chances where risks could be calculated and minimized. On some fronts it has served me well but it has also robbed me of some experiences that only come with “walk on water” faith. I think about people in the Bible, who were called to do things that way out of their comfort zone. A young teen named David who faced Goliath. Moses who experienced a speech problem but spoke out on behalf of God’s people and Esther a Queen who risked it all to save her people. These may seem like extreme examples or maybe things that would definitely cause us to be out of our zone. But God calls us to live a life that puts our full trust in Him. Our trust cannot wrapped in our capabilities, our resources or the people we love. It has to be in Him.
