A Sunday school teacher said to her children, “We have been
learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a
higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?” One child blurted out, “Aces!”
You can see how significant a person’s worldview is in shaping
a helpful response to life. This child had no background or understanding of
biblical history. So when the words “kings and queens” were used, the immediate
context that came to mind was poker. And, admittedly, for some people, the
rules that operate poker (the ability to count the cards played, to know what
the deck is made of, etc.) comprise their “higher power.”
Your view of the “higher power” does indeed shape your
faith. What is your ultimate “Ace”? And what are the rules of the game so that
when you have the Ace you win?
