Deep in to the hand… chips on the table… sweat from his brow…
He thinks he knows you. He thinks he has got you all figured out.
You aren’t the one he is playing with.
No.
The devil is playing for you…
Not “on your side” for…
You are the prize…. He wants to own you.
He had walked in to the room and saw Him sitting at the table… seated… confident.
So he strolled over and sat down. I can see him now in his red three piece suit, black fedora, shady moustache, and a tooth pick dangling from his lip.
And then it started… but it wasn’t the enemy who spoke first… it was Him, Jesus… “Have you seen my servant…?”
Game on.
Trial after trial, card after card… dealt.
Satan looks in his hand and sees your failures, your habits and addictions, your past, your weaknesses… and he starts to sneer.
So he doubles down… goes “all in”… figuring that Christ is bluffing… that he has got you now.
But I have secret I want to share…
God always has the winning hand. You know how you can tell ?
It’s the one with the hole in it.
“I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons… can separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus.”
The devil could never take you from His hand.
When satan doubles down… God lifts you up.
