While godly risk is a vital element of a well-lived Christian life, that doesn’t mean what believers risk or stretch for, will always turn out as planned. Disappointments and road bumps are a part of the process. While his good purpose is often most apparent in hindsight, trusting God will free you up to enjoy the blessings of the present moment, too. His hand is assuredly upon you—always. Use these seven characteristics to help you discern healthy risk—and take it.
