I'm currently reading Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge for a book study, and I thought this paragraph was worth sharing.
You see, the life God calls us to is not a safe life. Ask Joseph, Abraham, Moses, Deborah, Esther - any of the friends of God from the Old Testament. Ask Mary and Lazarus; ask Peter, James, and John; ask Priscilla and Aquila - any of the friends of God in the New Testament. God calls us to a life involving frequent risks and many dangers. Why else would we need him to be our [lifesaver]? You don't need a lifesaver if your mission is to be a couch potato. You need [a lifesaver] when our life is in constant danger.
