Lucky Number

How fortunate (lucky) we are to have numbers in our lives. Of course without numbers we would not be able to count musical notes, the days of the week, months of the year or even the years of history, money, people, account balances, the length of our lives, time, area, volume and mass. When you start to think about numbers you realise that they are a very big part of our existence.

Without numbers we cannot record the important things that happen in our lives and history.

We can record the date we meet/marry our partners in life, my husband and I met on the 16th June 1977 and were married on the 7th January 1978. There are those all-important birthdays, 15th March, 24th March, 17th April, 22nd May, 5th June, 23rd September, 5th December to list but a few.

I remember trying to learn historical dates at school, interestingly enough, while I can remember the process, I cannot remember the actual dates of historic events. These events are also dated from a particular point in history when we started counting the years. This was the death of Jesus, the turning point in history which gives us BC and AD appendences to a date. Teachers would be out of work without numbers.

Eventually there is going to be a place where numbers will not rule our lives because we will be living in a different dimension called eternity. “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 22:5.

As the famous song writer says:

“When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.”
