Playing Chess with Satan

As Christians we are in a gigantic Chess game playing for the souls of others. When we are trying to help some lost individual who reaches out to us and along the course of the “game” they respond with anger or rejection we are all too ready to give up and think… game over I did my best and they rejected my pearls of wisdom they are pigs and I’m a true son of God.

When the reality is that Satan has blocked our “Pawn” with a “Castle” and the game is still on and we still have numerous plays and still have the most powerful player on the board… the “Queen”.

In the battle for lost souls don’t be defeated by rejection, insults or perceived slights. Those are Satan’s weapons and against a seasoned warrior for Christ are weak… unless we make them bigger than they are. We’re in a big Chess game with Satan. Make a move. Just because Satan takes your pawn doesn’t mean the game is over.
