Texas Holdem Part 8

As we continue on with our series, it just keeps getting more intense.  Today we look at the term “Turn Card”.  This is the 4th community card.   After we have been through the enemy trying to raise the stakes in the game of life.  After we have detected a bluff, we find ourselves needing a little strength.  We can sometimes get a little of track in the game of life and we need God’s help.  We need that “turn card” and must be a good one.  When we find ourselves backed up to the wall we are willing to do anything.  The "turn card"  in the game of Texas Holdem represents for us to repent.

Repent = To think differently or reconsider. To go a different direction.

We have to realize that just like in Texas Holdem, the game is not over after the 3 community cards.  And in the game of life we need all of God’s promises not just a few.  Sometimes we think we have it all wrapped up and can forget that it was God who helped us thus far.  We can start to depend on our own strength.  We must always be willing to “turn” to Jesus for our help and strength.
