Is gambling for winners or for losers? Well, the answer to that question just might depend upon where you place your stakes.
Lev. 27:28 tells us, "… no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto to the LORD of all that he hath, both of man or beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD."
Perhaps one of the reasons we don't devote our children to God, and really mean it, is because we only want our children to be blessed unless it means losing them as missionaries.
Maybe we serve God but aren't entirely consecrated for fear we'll lose total control of our lives ... that the idea of being slave to anyone, including Christ, is a little more than we can bare.
Surely, there is no one we can depend upon, more than ourselves, to fix our financial blunders (even if it means working Sundays) and a tithe is all God has the right to ask for (and certainly all we can afford to risk) ... WRONG!
For every occasion we stand with Satan in calling God a liar, by our lack of faith in His promises, we've gambled to lose.
We can't out give God. Lev. 27:28 gives us an additional guarantee ... in EVERYTHING that is DEVOTED to HIM, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!! So, choose to win!

Committed Works: Exploring Biblical Symbolism and Prophecy
Delve into the profound symbolism and prophecies of the Bible, where celestial battles, divine horses, and apocalyptic visions intertwine with human destiny. This exploration reveals the layers and complexities of scriptural texts, offering insights into their timeless relevance and spiritual depth.
A Call to Unity of the Church
In a world rife with division, the church's unity stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to divine truth over human doctrine. This unity is not merely a lofty ideal but a practical necessity, rooted deeply in scriptural teachings that emphasize the importance of collective faith and action. Understanding and living by God's word, as opposed to following merely human interpretations, can be the difference between spiritual triumph and failure.
