The Winner in a Game of Death
The picture here is called "The Game of Death,“. In it a young man is represented as playing chess with the Devil. The Devil has apparently won the game by the position of the pieces.
A noted chess player once went to see the picture, and after looking at it, he said, "I can save that fellow." He then explained how the chessmen should be moved to save the game. "That," said Dr. Stuart Holden, "is what Jesus Christ has done. He has in one move eternally checkmated death and the Devil, and snatched the prey from the mighty."—The Sunday Circle.

We can become winners in the life game of chess if we follow God’s will (Luke 22:31).

We are often confronted by Satan and many times we fail miserably.
We should always remember that God is in charge and will win the game.
We should never forget that God has not left us alone on the chess board of life.

It is when we fail to seek God’s counsel that we have failures and setbacks in life.
Many people live as if they only need to acknowledge that God exists and thank him for prosperity in life; however we should also ask his guidance and counsel in all matters.
We should never forget that God has not left us alone on the chess board of life.

Finally we should remember that we have a Life Chess Champion in our lives.
(1 Corinthians 15:57 KJV) – “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”.
