I'll precede this with a note on twisting words:
It may sound as if I'm saying to be completely unsafe and do whatever you want. Thats not what I mean. The purpose here is to rid you of the excuse to be stagnant and non-prosperous. It's time to do something. Make a move.
If you've ever done circus work, more specifically swinging from a bar suspended very high or tight rope walking, you know all about some safety nets. Safety nets are your friend. They keep you from plunging rather quickly to a painful sudden stop.
If you've ever done anything in life, you probably didn't notice how to tended to adhere to the safe side of things: if you are shy, you don't sign up for public appearances and learn to slip through crowds unnoticed; if you are driving you always stay under the speed limit; if you work in a kitchen, you know where hot stuff is and keep your distance as to not burn yourself.
Something in our bodies deals with self-preservation (might watch M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening") - and who's to say it's not a bad thing? I mean, God didn't put us here to do stupid stuff so we kill ourselves off.
My beef comes when we don't do anything: I mean that -- ANYTHING -- because it might not be safe.
I highly encourage you to be adventurous. Take risks (This kinda goes with my last post on fear)
Trusting God happens one way: when you encounter a point when YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO TRUST HIM. It's like that whole thing on "if you pray for patience, God will give you opportunities to be patient: for practice". If you want to trust God more, then get to places (or allow yourself to be placed) where you must trust that God is the only thing that can get you through.
Let this be uplifting to you. Don't make your own safety net before doing something exciting: trust God.
