Checkers Vs Chess

We play checkers....God plays chess
Our quick game of checkers usually result 
in distress...

He knows all ....sees all
Don’t need a crystal ball...

In silent rescue...He plays His game of chess;  
always 10 moves ahead 
working on our hasty chaotic mess...

All the while we boil in the oil of impatience;
contemplating our fate...
Before we know it...God says —checkmate!
