A Full House

A full house in poker is a hand that contains three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as 3♣ 3♠ 3♦ 6♣ 6♥. I don't play poker so I don't know if this is a very good hand always or if there are other "hands" that will beat this hand. I believe that poker has a rather complicated set of rules but this does not keep those who love the game from playing it and often at very high stakes. Even so, it is a game of chance and many have lost great possessions.

There is type of house that God wishes to fill. He told Noah to preach about a flood that was coming that would destroy all the inhabitants of the earth unless they were safe in the house (ark) that God told Noah to build. God wanted His house filled. Those who chose not to listen took a great chance that their house outside of the ark was safe. How many hands do we need to play to see that our hand, even a full house, is not a sure thing? When the flood came all of their houses fell down and the inhabitants were destroyed.

How does your hand look? Do you have a full house? Are you sure that your hand will beat God's hand?
