Risk on the Street Corner

A YOUNG preacher was preaching on a street corner in Atlanta. There was quite a bit of activity in the same area among Muslim people. While the young preacher delivered his message, a young guy of the Nation of Islam became very upset. He threatened the young preacher and told him that if he didn’t stop sharing his message, that he would regret it, and he reached in his pocket.

This presented a crisis moment for the young preacher because he had to make a decision. Was he going to stop preaching at the possibility of losing his life or was he going to take the risk? He spoke to the Lord, quietly within his soul, and said, “Lord, if this is it, then I entrust my eternal destiny to You.”

Then the preacher kept on preaching. There are times in our lives where we should take risks for God. When is the last time you’ve taken a risk for God?
