Taking Chances

Proverbs 16:33 
We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall. (NLT) 

You might be wondering about the Bible mentioning dice. Fact is dice have been around longer than recorded history. They were discovered in a dig that was five thousand years old! So, dice and dice games (gambling) may be older than dirt.

We all take chances as we make choices in our daily walk. Isn't it great to know God is determining how they fall for us as believers?

Now I did not say to take some of hard earned cash and plunk it down on a horse race or even a lottery ticket. Unless Holy Spirit directs you to do so, you are taking a chance and He is not in the mix. Odds are you will lose.

I belong to a computer club that meets once a month. They have a raffle each meeting and to support the club I always buy a ticket. Still waiting to win! My reason for playing is not to get the prize, but to support the club. A serendipity of doing so could be winning something.

If we are walking a path in life led daily by Holy Spirit, how can we fail?
