"12/12/12"
Today has a nice ring to it, and easy to remember.
December 12, 2012
We won't get this calendar consistency again until January 1, 2101 when we'll have 1/1/01. That's 89 years from now.
Some people are heavily into numbers or numerology just as some people are focused on the meaning of the star locations, creases in their palm or how the tarot cards fall.
While the Bible tells us to be observant and to watch the signs of the times, it also clearly admonishes us to avoid these occultic practices making decisions and planning our future.
For example:
"There shall not be found among you anyone...who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord."
--Deut 18:10-12
Yes, today IS unique! Not because of the abbreviated form of the Gregorian Calendar, but because every single day God gives us is unique and valuable.
It is unique because God made it. It is unique because He has entrusted it to us. It is unique because this is the day He has given us life and chosen us to be here.
The Psalmist wrote, Lord "teach us to number our days right", to value each day and realize the briefness of life "so that we may become filled with wisdom."
--Psalm 90:12
Make the most of this day, 12/12/12 because this is the only time we have it!
Honor God and He will honor you!
