Why take chances?


The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.(Proverbs 16:33)
Gambling is such an attraction in our society today. It is a huge money-maker for our government, though we seldom know where the money ends up! It is also a disater for families and individuals as folks gamble away needed funds on sports, casinos, and lotteries. All for that big PAYDAY!

We even do it with our life decisions. Though we know what God really wants us to do and how we should act, we gamble with our decisions and hope God will bless them. Sometimes we even hope He is looking then other way! Wishful thinking . . .

Why take chances? Just follow His guide. We have all we need! Read what Peter wrote:

His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, we by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.             
 (2 Peter 1:3-4)
