The Number Game

I was watching Deal or No Deal the other night and there was this lady who came on and picked her first case based on "a secret number" that had always had an influence in her life. It was her anniversary date, the age of one of her children, it was a part of her flight number she took coming to the show-you get the drift. The faith she had in this number was thoughtful, it was provoking, it was bs. We all have numbers that frequent our lives-my husband loves the number 5, some of you see 11:11 or 1:11 on the clock a lot, for me it's 3's. Ever since I could read a digital clock-I have seen 3:33-both am and pm thanks to colicky babies! Some kind of "3" has always been around me-I am the oldest of 3 children, my next door neighbor has "333" on his license plate, I'm 33, Christ was crucified at 33. The 3's are thoughtful, are provoking, and it is my desire to prove them not as bs. I have been asking myself, am I meant to have 3 kids?.....will I die at 33?....... (I make sure to keep laundry piled up to let God know that I'm still needed, useful, and making progress just to make sure!).....will my husband die at 33? (he has the same laundry philosophy!)......will we have our 3rd child at 33?.......do we need a 3rd car?......you get the craziness of this. So, in my hunt to find validity out of the insane-John 3:33 was the closest I could come. It says, "He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true." (NAS). Has set his seal to this, that God is true. Maybe this is it! Maybe, just maybe my crazy obsession with three's is a testament to the truthfulness of God and His word! Even if this isn't the case, I can at least be reminded of this verse when I see my all powerful 3! I encourage you to play your number game with God and see what He shows you! Deal or No Deal?
