What Are Spiritual Trifectas You Can Bet On?

In horse racing, a trifecta is a bet placed on a horse race in which the bettor must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third, in the exact order.

In life, especially in your spiritual life, there are "trifectas", 3"s that have special meaning. In fact, the number 3 represents completeness, wholeness, resurrection, and harmony in the Bible.

For example, the Holy Trinity is represented by 3 entities, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Also, words and phrases repeated 3 times are often important and carry significant spiritual meaning.

And there's more.
