VBS 2nd day
Today we learned about a young queen in a precarious position. When Esther learned of a plot to kill her and the rest of the Jewish people, she had a important decision to make. Esther saw the opportunity she'd been given and was willing to risk her own life to save others. God blessed Esther's courage, and He will bless ours.
Ask these questions;
- What does it mean to take a risk?
- How do you decide what risks you are willing to take?
- Why was Esther willing to risk her life to save her people?
- What risks are you willing to take for God?
Learning to take the right kinds of risks is very important in our modern, messy world. In response to today's lesson, we were challenged to choose a specific way to GO Risk! Discuss this commitment and, if necessary, help your family and friends carry it out.
Dear Xodusxteen,
We had a good conversation over this topic. I remember many of you were sharing how she and he took a risk to join VBS. And how the fruits of her and his selfishlees choice were impact others life still moves me ....
God is good, but He is not safe, so we are mistaken when we believe that dwelling in the center of His will for our lives will be without risk. In fact, based on what we observe in the lives of our faithful predecessors - like Esther - the close we draw to God, the more "at risk" we may find ourselves.
When was the last time you risked something for God? This world will be changed when Christians decide to stop laying it safe and go risk it all to do what God want us to do. So go for it!
