NO GAMES
Today's reading: Psalm 9-11

"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for you." Psalm 9:10 NLT

God plays no games.

He does not play hide-and-seek with you during your toughest times, darkest moments or lowest valleys. He is not turning our prayer time into His rendition of Marco Polo--you calling and Him staying just out of reach.

He is there. He is available when you call out to Him. He is not squirreled away for the educated and elite of the church. He has not blanketed His presence in a lot of necessary pretense and showmanship on our part. He does not save rising to the occasion for those of certain lineage, spiritual maturity or denomination. His miracles, His presence and His love are not dealt out according to a hand of cards, a roll of the dice or what the world calls 'fate'.

If there are any games going on--we're the ones playing them!
