What’s in a Number?
It is extraordinary how many numbers we carry around in our heads – countless telephone numbers, account numbers, identification numbers, postal codes, area codes, and so on.
Numbers can be lifeless and boring abstractions, yet, some are so charged that, if we happen to pay attention, they can make our hearts skip a beat: the year somebody we loved was born or died; a telephone number we may not have called for 20 years; the number of steps we climbed to our bedroom as a child; and the age we were when we first fell in love.
Uninteresting as they are, numbers remind us that, if we have our wits about us, almost anything we look at has treasure buried in it.
What about the number 2024? What are your expectations about this year? What are your hopes and dreams? What is it you would most like to accomplish this year? How would you most like to grow spiritually in 2024?
Whatever takes place this year, remember that you are not alone, that God loves you and is with you as are we all in your Christian family.
God bless!
