I think I'm a Playing My Odds Christian. I feel there is a better chance in getting the final reward I want if my life is not focused on worldly, wicked, and counterproductive choices.
Does that mean that I lead a perfect life? No, or else I wouldn't struggle with keeping the last few pounds off all these years. Those few pounds are an indication that I make a false god of food thinking it can resolve the stress I feel, instead of immediately turning to the One True Lord and Savior and put all my stress and concerns in Christ's very capable hands.
I know that even though I'm not totally the example I know Christ wants me to be, He is patient and forgiving and continues to lead me in the right direction, as long as I'm willing to listen. Fortunately, He never gives up on me. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing but righteousness delivereth from death. proverbs 10:12
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my overeating, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse.
