Game time

If I could take a minute and explain what it seems to me that we are supposed to be in this life...cause I would love your feedback on it. But, simply put, I feel like we are to be Gods chess pieces. We are all of various influence and have assigned areas of "power" if you will. Much like a chess piece. Where some pieces can only attack to the right or left diagonally, but move straight ahead and others have other "powers"...Yet, without being where the chess player would put us we are ineffective and our power is useless. In addition, we have no idea of what the rest of the pieces on the board are going to be used for or what purpose they have. Some may be called to be sacrificed to gain an edge in the game, some may be used to breakdown strongholds, others may be used to take down the opposing force. But, no matter the "power" of the individual piece, any piece can be assigned to any of those duties. A pawn (with reinforcements) can be the piece that ultimately pins a king...where the queen may be used as a sacrifice.

 

To me, that seems similarly close to the lives we should lead. No, it's not a game. No, we are not pieces being moved around on a board. However, we have differing levels of influence and ability that makes us unique in this life. Unlike chess however, we are to see where God is working and move to it..bringing with us the special powers. Then, we may be used by God to effectively do his good and perfect will. Then we may feel the satisfaction of being right where God would want us.

 

My power is limited like a pawns...but, with God as my reinforcement, there's no limit (even if I am sacrificed). I just have to trust and move to where he is working.

 

I don't know....but that's kinda what it seems like to me.
