Picture your life as a chess board for a moment. Our adversary's goal for us is Checkmate (The King is dead). The Lord put this on my heart as I was considering some of my own "moves" of late. I thought what He showed me was worth sharing because, well, our choices matter, all of them. Anyone who has played Chess knows that this is especially so when you are in a weakend position or outnumbered.
Our adversary will always move his pieces in order to influence the way you move yours, don't be fooled, consider the consequences of being hasty. Above all be bold, you have one thing in your favor that your foe knows nothing about, The Chess Master. So when things are looking their most bleak and it would seem all of your pieces have been taken, remember that the board is rigged in your favor, even 4 to 1 are not long odds for The King of Kings! If you're not sure what do next, just ask.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)
