Most people spend about $800 a year on the lottery. A gambling addict will waste $10,000 a year. People cope with stress in their lives by turning to games of chance for that adrenaline hit, or deceive themselves on many levels in believing that more money will be the answer to their problems. Gambling, then, wouldn't make sense to God, since he is omniscient and omnipotent. He doesn't need anything and is completely happy.
AND YET ... the mystery of the Bible is that God worked in human history - people made in his image - by placing "bets" on their obedience. No, not bets. But something more important. It turns out his most desirable "purchase" was mankind's redemption. The staggeringly high cost of the currency of his desire and love was his Only Begotten Son. Then, he bet that his Church would complete the process of testifying to the Gospel and bring about his greatest glory.
Care to invest on that bet? You'd be wise if you did!
