OK, so you lived another day and once again your sitting at the table of destiny ready to play one more round of the game of life. What does your hand look like? Do you even stand a chance? Will the "poker face" be enough to get you through? Are the sunglasses sufficient to hide your truest emotions or heartfelt desperation? The metaphors may seem far fetched, but the reality of life's difficulties can at times be unnerving and unmistakably challenging. However, it is at these defining moments that we must be certain of whom we have placed our trust in. Is your trust in people, things, or is it in yourself? Life is fleeting and unforeseen circumstances can throw our lives into a tailspin. We cannot control every situation; but what we can control is how we respond to them. Material wealth can evaporate overnight and health issues can render us impotent; but God is the source of our strength and will lift up our heads. So whats in your hand is probably not as important as whose hand you're in. Nevertheless, evaluating who's at the center of our affection will provide a valuable perspective on how to navigate life's toughest challenges. Jesus Christ is the "King of Hearts" and without him you're not playing with a full deck.
Psalms 20: 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.
