Three

I have long been intrigued by the recurring use of numbers in the Bible.  Noah had three sons, Job had three daughters. Moses and Aaron petitioned Pharaoh, "Now let us take a three-day journey..." Daniel regularly prayed three times a day. Paul stayed in Ephesus for three months. Jonah spent three days and three nights in the stomach of a big fish. For three days Saul was without site. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. And the core of our faith is based on the Triune – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." In fact, three is mentioned in the Bible 543 times.

"Three" in the Bible denotes divine perfection.

Recently, while sifting through files of saved email, seeking inspiration for A Brand New Day, I found an email entitled "Three Things."  Marcy sent it to me on October 10, 2006.  It reads as follows:

Three  things in life that, once gone, never come back:
1.  Time
2.  Words
3.  Opportunity

Three things in life  that can destroy a person:
1.  Anger
2.  Pride
3.  Unforgiveness

Three things in life that you should never lose:
1.  Hope
2.  Peace
3.  Honesty

Three things in life  that are most valuable:
1.  Love
2.  FFF (Faith, Family & Friends )
3.  Kindness

Three things in life that are never certain:
1.  Fortune
2.  Success
3.  Dreams

Three things that make a person:
1.  Commitment
2.  Sincerity
3.  Hard work

Three things  that are truly constant:
Father - Son -  Holy Spirit

I  ask the Lord to bless you, as I pray for you today; to guide you and  protect you, as you go along your way. God's love is always with you, God's promises are true. And when you give God all your cares, you know God will see you through.

Thank you Marcy.
