Life is like a card game. The dealer distributes cards that you have no idea what they hold until you flip them over. From that point, depending on which game you’re playing, you will have to devise a strategy to play with the cards you are dealt, in an effort to win the game.

Should you hold them or fold them? Do you play or run away? If only life decisions were that easy, we wouldn’t have a thing to worry about. Sometimes life deals us a great hand, with a win-win situation. It’s like you have the Midas touch no matter what!

Some days you may feel like you’re playing a game of Solitaire, finding yourself alone, trying to figure out the next move and having to start all over again until you get the sequence right. Other days it seems like you’re playing a game of Blackjack where there is a strong adversary whom you feel you have to defeat quickly and defiantly. Many times you feel like you’re playing a long game of Poker, where you are competing against some hard core opponents for a long, hard fight just to get ahead.

While card games typically have guidelines to go by, life has no foolproof instructions that can guarantee you will avoid pain, heartache, and disappointment. Yep, life is a gamble. If you play your cards with divine instruction, you will develop divine wisdom in order to be in step with the life-changing, life-enhancing moves you make and reap the rewards from the life lessons you learn.
