You Bet

That word is said a lot in the area these days, and a lot of people in the area play their hand at it weekly. Actually, we do it a lot more than you think. We take chances with our future, our family, even our own lives at times, believing the odds are in our favor. That is what everyone that likes to take chances believes.

The greatest mistake comes with the bet we place on our soul, the chances we take thinking we can handle our own lives and come out a winner. But we won’t.

Every day, every person is given the option to gamble on their lives, believing that if they just get one more opportunity or place one more bet, they just might make it. We waste our time and waste God’s money. We waste His blessings convincing ourselves we are doing okay or good things.

Spinning that wheel, pulling that slot, rolling those dice- once in a while it might look like we are winning. But the true results will come after your life is over and the things you thought were fun and important will have caused you to come up short.

If you are reading this, you still have the option to put all you have on Jesus, turning your life over to Him. The odds of not doing so and spending eternity away from Him are 100 percent.
