The Games of life

At some point in our lives we have been addicted to a certain game like Texas Hold'em, the very famous Angry birds, guys favorite - Mafia Wars, Farmville, Cityville, or my favorite - Sims. I would agree that games in our lives are some what necessary like what some scientist said, it stimulates the logical thinking of our brains and it also relieves stress in our daily lives.

I like to classify them as the "go" games and the "stop" games;

The "GO" games would be games that gives positive outcomes; enhance one's memory, manifest drive of responsibility - like when you play virtual pets, shows sense of discipline - of avoiding doing the same mistakes to earn more scores, and lastly games that helps you develop relationship with family and friends - nothing is more exciting when you play games with people you care about.


The bible says:

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

~ Philippians 4:8




The "STOP" games are the type of game which leads interest to violence; it stimulates desire to be violent towards others unknowingly, it discourage teamwork - as it long to be the strongest link, it encourage alienating oneself from others - because everyone is a threat. And lastly, it builds hatred to others and appreciate the game as his only companion - it doesn't establish any relationship at all.


The bible says:

"The lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence."
~ Psalm 11:5



..... You see the games you choose to play reflects a lot on how you plan to live your life. There are more larger games that we unconsciously tends to play, and it is the test of life. Temptation has always been around since Satan was born. But what defines you, is how you deal with it.



The bible says:

"How blessed is the man who endures temptation! When he has passed the test, he will receive the victor's crown of life that God has promised to those who keep on loving him.

~ James 1:12




......To live the walk with Christ, you will be more tempted as satan will not stop to steal you away from God. The more you are faithful to Christ, the more you will be a desirable subject to him. Never fret, because God is with us - "Emmanuel" and will never forsake us. The best weapon is God himself.



The bible says:

"He gives power to the weak
And strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
And young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint."

~ Isaiah 40:29-31



..... Continue to read the scriptures for in any temptation it will remind you that "Our God" is greater than any trials and games of life....
