Sticking Your Neck Out

As I watched this green heron hunt for his next meal I was shocked to see how far he was able to stick his neck out. I knew they had long neck. But this was the longest I have seen.
I can see where it can come handy for the heron. All he has to do is watch and wait for his meal and with a quick motion stretch his neck out and catch his prey.
I wonder how far I will stick my neck out. What do I want so bad that it will cause me to go into action. What ever it may be I pray that God will give me the strength and a strong neck to do the job.
