The game of life. The universe is God's chess board and all of it's inhabitants are the players on the board.
Some of us are simple pawns, limited in movement, but important and willing to lay down our lives so that the bigger pieces can move forward unhindered towards the end.
Some of us are the thinkers and strategic pieces on the board who are so vital to maneuvering God's plan forward to...wards His victory and again, being willing to die so that our King may live.
We forget that the players will does not matter only the King.
The game will be played.
We forget that we are the pieces not the players.
We forget that it takes two to play this game of life.
Good and Evil. God and Lucifer.
We forget that the outcome was already written into The Bible and was won by God. The devil loses. We forget that as we go about our merry ways as unwilling players to this game. We forget that it is our duty to jump when the Father commands it.
We think we have some choice, or that God wants to hear all of our whining if He as the Creator of all asks his players to lay down their life for Him so that He may win.
I think this was why He told us not to even take 2 tunics with us when we traveled, but to only take one outfit and a pair of shoes and go by faith and work your way forward. He wanted us to be free to jump the second he needed us to.
When we encumber ourselves with millions of possessions, homes, things, responsibilities, etc. it sure makes it hard to move on command doesn't it? If we as players root to deeply where he puts us, how can he use us in the game? Jesus was a nomad in constant movement and always busy doing the Lord's bidding, not His own. Wow that's mind boggling, and convicting right?
We as the players on the board are failing our God. We are busy warring each other because of what color we are, or how much they have, or what ever we are all fighting over now a days. We change sides in the middle of the game, a lot. We think that each of us are alone and not connected to each other in any way. We think that we don't need to die for our neighbor so that they may live. We are busy playing our own games, all of us. The whole board is chaos!
The Father waits patiently for the players to cooperate and let Him run the game as was meant to be. We are small but we are mighty and important to God. He can not win unless we stick together and be willing to die for Him or each other and be willing to move forward on His command, even when it is to the death. Do it and rejoice knowing that your death helped to advance His Kingdom. His victory is what is important, not the pieces.
Let us lighten our loads guys, let us get in the game, and quit competing with each other so that the Lord can finish competing with the devil and bring us all home. The prizes come after the game is over. I know the Lord will compensate each and every one of His pieces for the personal sacrifices they had to make so that He could win the game.
Be patient and be willing!!!!!! Sit quietly where the Lord puts you and wait for His next move. Be willing to go where He wants to move you to, even when no one else will go there. You have to be brave. You have to love your King, you have to give up your own fleshly desires and be a willing pawn for the Lord. This is a hard thing. I have a lot of work to do Lord to get me to where you need me, but I will begin now. I will lighten my load, I will be more spontaneous, I will be ready to roll when you say go. Not my will but yours.
Hey Devil, you think you can beat Him don't you? You keep forgetting that He created you! He gave you what you got! He created the board and the pieces your playing with! It is really cute of you to think that you can beat HIM!
I will try not to laugh at you...this would displease MY KING! I will gladly sacrifice myself so that MY KING can wipe the floor with you, since he already removed your legs, this shouldn't be to hard for Him to do, don't you think? How ironic that He will use your filthy self to mop up the mess you made of the world and make it clean again, then He will throw you into the furnace like a used dust cloth. That is MY KING, the only reason HE even created You was to be HIS opposition, to make HIM shine brighter.
If a GOD is never challenged how does HE prove HE is the GOD of all gods. Think of that. There had to be a Satan, to show off God's goodness and power. God created all even HIS ...supposed competition...The devil keeps forgetting that I think. Check Mate!
