Job 20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Many persons have sought alternatives to try and break through the financial barriers, by turning to gambling. And the gambling industries are not helping either, for they are making the indulgence of the habit more accessible and readily available at your fingertips, as it were. Persons could now bet on just about anything, from when the first bomb was going to be dopped on Iran to what condition the two jet fighter pilots would be found in, after the plane went down over Iran.
Folks also placed bets on the death of former Khamenei, head of Iran, while others gambled on the fall of the former Viktor Orban. Persons also betted on the capture of Venezuela’s Maduro, and there are bets on the time when the strait of Hormuz will be reopened to shipping. Folks are also gambling on whether or not the U.S would withdraw from NATO, and whether the U.S will have obtained Iran’s enriched Uranium by a certain date.
The issue of sports gambling has also risen to the top of the charts, after it was discovered that many games in the sports world were being rigged, and “fixed”, so that gamblers, bettors and players could cash in and make a quick buck. Thus, at the root of all of these activities, is the desire to get rich quickly. But gambling has several deleterious effects on the individual’s mind, because, not only does it quite often provide an adrenaline rush, as persons eagerly wait, hoping that the bet will pay off big, but it also triggers feelings of defeat, when one loses.
Psalms 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
