A small group of us were playing dominoes. It was a very amateur friendly game, nothing professional about it. We even adapted some of the rules so that everyone felt included and enjoyed the afternoon. Even so, I found that there were a few strategies I could use to give myself a better chance of winning.
Playing dominoes is a bit like life, a matter of choices. We need make so many choices in one day, some big and some so small that we hardly notice them, What will we have for breakfast, what will we wear. Some decisions are far more important and take more thought, what career will I follow? Who will I marry?
All choices large or small will have consequences. If we choose casual clothes for a formal interview we are unlikely to get the job. If we make a wrong choice in choosing a life partner, it will affect, well, our whole life.
We do not need to be on our own when making our choices, especially the big ones. God can be with us every step of the way. ‘Take it to the Lord in prayer,’ we are urged. God knows the end from the beginning and has far more wisdom than us. He wants to hear from us. Talk to Him.
