That’s How I Roll

By Ryan, June 26, 2007

My favorite board game in the world is undoubtedly Yahtzee. I’m not necessarily the best at it, though I usually do well. It’s a game of chance, but it requires a lot of skill. I have absolutely no control over what dice I roll. Maybe I’ll roll something bad, like a 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. No points there. I could get something like a full house or small straight, which is quite good. If I’m really lucky, I might get five matching dice on the first throw. But no matter what I roll, there is strategy involved. Even the most pitiful rolls can be turned into a ton of points. And even if they can’t, then there’s always next time.

It works the same in life, and I’m not talking about the one created by Milton-Bradley. Nobody will get something perfect every time. Some people will never get the set of dice they want. But the dice we roll won’t be what will count when we die. It will be what we did with those dice. “Bad dice” could be something like losing a grandmother to cancer. That can be scored under either “complain about the unfairness of life” or “be grateful for my new step-grandmother.”

Everything that happens is part of God’s plan, whether it’s good or bad at first. Being upset is okay, but it is downright stupid to let obstacles get in the way of being an effective Christian.
