What Are the Odds?

as a young boy my mother gave my brother and I money to go out and have a day of fun so on the subway to 42nd street we went on our own now free to run but before we got to the movie theater we saw a guy at a small table shuffling cards I played a free hand and won and thought to myself, "hey that wasn't so hard" on the next shuffle I put our money down but then the guy snatched it and started to rush away he said "get out of here kids the cops are coming" and we didn't get to see any movies that day I still think about that $8 I lost, it was a life lesson I still hold in my heart as you don't know how life may sometimes be stacked against you, you don't always know the odds Gideon was called into battle by the Lord and the odds were about 10,000 to one but the Lord God told Gideon, "I will be with you" until the battle is won God is watching the things we do be they big or small He's aware of everyone's capabilities and He knows on whom to call God desires we have no fear and to believe that He'll always have our backs and no matter the odds stacked against us, He'll be there in the midst of the attack God will restore thee if you implore He, God will even the playing field just remember to thank Him and give Him all the glory when the enemy to you yields It doesn't matter how many people are trying to hinder you or stand in your way God will even the odds and give you the victory on any given day
