Dangers Ahead are Not Good Enough Reasons to Stay Put

On the television show, Deadliest Catch, fishermen will venture out onto the sea to catch seafood. They've been out before. They've encountered problems, lost crew, gone hungry, and possibly lost their boat. They've seen so many things on that water.

However, one thing's for sure, they haven't lost their zeal to go back out. Whether it is for the money or the thrill, they look forward to going out and gathering the catch. They feel the deep urge to go out. They know people are counting on them; people they will never meet. They are needing to provide for their family, as well.

How willing are you to go out from the shore? How much zeal do you have to go out even in dangers? That brings us to this week's quote...
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storms are terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reasons for remaining ashore. - Vincent Van Gogh

When life is putting in front of you situations that you deem difficult or impossible, just remember that the fishermen are going out time after time. They know things may get dangerous, but they know they are worse off if they don't go out.

If you're looking at something impossible know that He is the God of the impossible. With Pharaoh behind the Israelites and the Red Sea before them - the Impossible provided them a way out!

Don't let the danger of the sea or the concern about storms halt any progress you can make to create things that will change your life or the life of others!
