-======================================

The game:

1. God sets the rules
2. You have been disqualified (because of your sins)
3. Trade your life for Yeshua's l33t character
4. Get as many people playing together as you can!
5. Novel gameplay gets rewarded with character boosts (fruit of the Spirit)

I said this about a week ago (ok 5 days) and I decided after saying that I would actually just go ahead and give Jesus my game and today the funniest thing happened:

I was heading down an travelator in a shop mall on my way to eat and all of a sudden this kid (sic!) slammed his foot on the travelator at the top, as if he wanted the whole thing to jerk and go the opposite way at his foot's command. Well! He thought it was so much fun.

I thought "There's no way I can get off because there are people in the way.... I have to be ready to catch my balance if the kid does actually have the strength to stop the belt (I've done it)... there's probably no chance that he will now that he's walked off."

For the rest of the day, I had no idea what it all meant... it really seemed like the kid really wanted to have fun with me, the last person to get off the travelator. Now that I write this, I realise:
1. I sinned as a teenager jumping on travelator type mobilizers so that people couldn't travel on them
2. I had given my game to Yeshua.
3. Now I needed to repent.

The Devil had realised that I had given my game to Yeshua but, that I wasn't perfect... and so he tested me. It wasn't until I repented that what happened stopped making me dizzy (trying to follow it all). That's the game:

I am playing Yeshua's game now.

What's a Jewish word for fun like festival you don't know how soon you will celebrate it but its certainly not far away?

Thank you and Amen, Godservant. That is profound.

To win the game, one must be prepared to win.

Perhaps not 'to win,' but better said: 'prepared to run'?

Shaul said it best, I think:  (1Co 9:24 KJV)  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Well said, Godservant.

In Messiah, Shalom to one and all.  Arley

Indeed!

Today, I was playing computer soccer against God! I kicked him the ball and He did all sorts of amazing things with the soccer players that I've never seen them do in years (of playing the game).

At the end God said "See what I can do when people stop focussing on what order I am going to give them?"

That was profound too!
