Whenever I have some down time, one of my favorite pass times is playing Words with Friends. A friend turned me on to the game on a long ride back from beach retreat. I was pretty new to mobile device games but I have quickly learned.
I also like playing backgammon. The thing I like about backgammon is that computer version of this game has an "un-do" button. Therefore, if I make a move I regret or don't like, I can "un-do" it.
As I was playing Words with Friends, I put down a word and hit "submit." Unfortunately, I discovered a word that was worth more points however, before I could realize what I had done, it had counted! I yelled "Where's my un-do button?" Wrong game!
In life, there are no un-do buttons. We make our moves and then we live with the consequences. We can not erase our sin but we can be forgiven of our sin. We can not side track the consequences but we can ask God to walk us through it.
There have been times that I wish I would not have reacted a certain way, not had a specific response, not walked a certain direction but I did it anyway...no un-do! Today I am grateful that if I put my plans and my life in God's hands, he will direct me and lead me in the way I should go, the decisions I should make, the responses I should have and if I stay on that track, I won't be looking for that un-do button!
Game on!
Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults? Keep you servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Psalms 19:12-13
