Everybody Always - Don't Play It Safe

Everybody Always - Don't Play It Safe

Author: Joy! Lutheran Church ( Contemporary Reverent Joy Worship ) September 22, 2019 Duration: 19:41

Take the next step. You can play it safe and fly 2000 feet above the highest mountain, or you can learn to be a better pilot and fly through the valleys. We become better neighbors and love people better when we fly with them through the valley's rather than play it safe and stay clear of their struggles. Playing it safe doesn't help us grow. Being brave means our trust in God grows, our need for God grows. God is with us in the valley, growing our faith in Him. We don't need to have every step through the valley planned, we just need to be ready to take the next step.
