Hi,
If you are having trouble taking a risk, it may not be a result of lack of faith. We should evaluate all risks because God gave us a brain to consider these things. However, it also so important to be ready to listen and act when God opens up a door for us. Once we decide something is worth pursuing and are confident God is not against it, we should pursue it with faith. Faith implies trust. If you need more faith, then pray to God for more faith and then make a strong effort to search the bible for verses on God’s promises, His faithfulness, His righteousness. Knowing God is righteous, faithful and true to His promises will help us overcome any fears and doubts. As the bible says, “true love casts out fear”. God loves you and you have committed to following Him. Nothing to fear. He has your back covered, even if you make a bad decision or don’t pursue an opportunity like you should. If you know God has your back covered, you feel like you can take risks. Of course, it is always better to ask God for guidance first before deciding what to do. My wife and I actually have flipped a coin to make some tough decisions. In all cases, it turned out fine. There was still some problems, but God always made it turn out okay. Sometimes going through a problem requires us to rely upon God more, which was probably His main goal for us anyway.
I wonder if you could do what we did – take turns to work. Could you quit and stay at home with the kids for a short time so that you could save up some more emergency money? Could you get your old job back if you did that or get a new job? Of course, it may also be that you could live better than you think on your budget with only your income too. That is often the case. I have been budgeting for a business I had before and also for my family for over twenty years and it often turns out that I could manage to squeeze some money into some sort of commitment and not have problems. For example, I bought a life insurance investment policy not long after we got married, even though we did not have kids yet and I was barely able to pay for it. I wondered at the time if I could manage to keep up with it. But we did. God did it, of course, not us. Now, we have used the cash value of that policy to help us buy some investment property. I did not think we could buy investment property, but it happened once and it looks like it will happen again. In each case, we took a risk. Everyone must learn to deal with risks. Even if you put money in the bank, you take a risk. If you decide not to invest, there is a risk. If you didn’t invest in something with a higher return and the economy fails, then you have less money to live on. The risk we take in those cases is trusting the economy will not fail. That is the same risk we take if we invest it in a higher return. The only difference is one investment gets a higher return. If you are going to risk it anyway, why not get a higher return? However, please listen to this next statement carefully. I never take gambles. I always take calculated risks. That means I know what the risks are and what could be done if my first plan doesn’t succeed. That has happened before, but I knew that I wasn’t risking everything and also knew that God had my back.
Hope this helps, we’ll pray for your decision and your success. One more thing. It’s not about providing a living for your family. God says He will do that. All you have to do is work, but how hard He doesn’t say. It’s all about learning how to rely upon and trust in God. That is a benefit worth much more than any gold.
