If you have ever played Snakes and Ladders it is a super simple game. Shake your dice, move the number of spaces you’re told to move and the basic goal is to never land on a snake!

Ladders help you jump up the game, to get nearer to the end (first one to the end wins!). But, land on a snake, and it takes you back the way you’ve just come.

But, I wonder if we sometimes thank that God is sitting there just wishing and hoping for us to land on a snake.

But, that simply isn’t God’s nature.

Actually, neither is helping us get to all the ladders. Because, if we rush through life, never having to face problems two things will happen. One is that we’ll get bored real quick. The second is that when we miss a ladder, we’ll have no clue what to do, because we’ve been avoiding life’s difficulties.

Board games are all about random chance, for the most part. But the life of a Christian is the antithesis of this. With God there is no random.

Sure, we have free will. But the idea that things can randomly happen completely misses who God is, as our loving Heavenly Father.

So if you’re going through life, thinking that you’re one roll of the dice away from disaster. Or you’re simply wishing to grab that ladder to avoid all the difficulties in you life, change your mindset, and just keep going.

Just a thought…
