The chess player's discovery is a great reminder that though Satan can outfox us over and over- the Lord reserves the right to have the final move!!

Paul Morphy was the world’s champion chess player when he was invited by a friend to look at a painting titled, “Checkmated.” In the painting, Satan was playing chess with a young man, the stake being the young man’s soul. The game had reached the stage where it was the young man’s move; but There was no apparant move he could make which would not mean defeat for him, and so the strong feature of the picture was the look of utter despair on the young man’s face as he realized that his soul was lost.<BR/><BR/>Morphy studied the picture for a time, then called for a chessboard and pieces. Placing them in exactly the same position as they were in the painting, he said, “I’ll take the young man’s place and make the move.” Then he made the move which would have set the young man free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
