Would You Have the Faith To Do this?

God will sometimes ask us to do easy things and sometimes he asks us to do hard things.  And sometimes for just a few, God will actually ask u s to risk our lives for Him.  Here is a great example.

Acts 9:11-16(NKJV)

11So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 

12And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

13Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 

14And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.”

15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 

16For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

You can't blame Ananias for his skepticism.  I think I would be asking God, "Dude, are you sure?"

But in the end it comes down one thing.  Faith.  Do you trust God or not?

Let's hope and pray that if any of us are ever put in that situation, we keep the faith and follow God, no matter the cost!
