Deck of Cards/Devotional



Deck of Cards/Bible


The following is the way that a poor man found inspiration in a deck of cards. He was so poor that he couldn’t afford to buy a Bible.
We all need to see God in everything--even the unexpected places, because He is everywhere.


Ace- There is only 1 God.
2/Deuce- Bible is divided into 2 parts/Old and New Testaments.
3-God is the Trinity/Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
4- the 4 Gospels: Math., Mark, Luke, & John.
Diamonds - remind us that God is more precious than anything.
6- In 6 days, God made the heavens and the earth.
7- On the 7th day He rested.
8- The 8 righteous members of Noah’s family that were obedient and were saved!
Spades- remind us that Jesus
suffered by the sword to save us from our sins.

10- Commandments given to us by God through Moses.
Clubs - remind us of the beating God took for us before he was crucified.
Queen- Mary the mother of Jesus was a faithful, righteous young woman.
Joker- The devil tries to trick us into sinning.
King- There is but 1 King on His throne in Heaven--God Almighty!!!!
Hearts-the ultimate love of God for all His children.


*Finally, there are only 2 colors in a deck of cards:

Black=death in hell is what we deserve because of sin, but
Red=life that God gave us through the precious blood of Jesus.
