Notes About The Poem

The truth is this: Almighty God is the only one who predicts the future and then brings it to pass. (Isaiah 46:9-11). He is greater than the sum of all things. Thus, nothing is out of His control. He cannot be one-upped by anyone or anything. He only appears to hold a losing hand so that the "ante up" will yield Him an even better result.

Poker

All cards are on the table
Esau holds kings and queens
His secular greatness is swift
Many chiefs reign in Edom

Jacob draws but two's and three's
His family lags behind in Egypt
Becoming slaves to Pharaoh
Is God playing the losing hand?

Small beginnings deceive
Spirtual greatness comes later
Demanding patience and faith
Until His Royal Flush appears

Jesus holds the Key of David
He is worthy to take the scroll
And to open its seals
Eclipsing secular greatness

His blood purchased for God
From every tribe and nation
A kingdom of priests to serve
And to reign on the earth

His last hand is winner-take-all
So, ask yourself this, 
"Do I really want to play poker
with Almighty God?"
