Lacking or marked by a lack of care. Characterized by unthinking boldness. Utterly unconcerned about the consequences of some action; without caution.
Today, my morning devotional reading challenged me to live a life of reckless faith. Upon reading the definition of the word "reckless" (see above) --- I have come to the realization that I am living too safely when it comes to my faith.
Here's what gripped me this morning:
Wow! Talk about a wake-up call or being hit in the head with a hammer!We are to be reckless in our faith – not habitual, not routine, not guarded. Reckless.
Reckless faith is… living out loud for God, regardless of the consequences.
Without thinking, without distress over consequences, without anxiety over what might happen, and without concern for what friends might think.
It is so much easier to stay afloat in the safety of our comfort zone than to step out into stormy waters, putting all of our trust in Christ.
How is God calling you to be reckless for Him today?
Do I really believe I can trust God enough for me to be reckless in my faith?
God, I desire to be reckless for You. Help me to live a life of reckless faith!
