And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. '
Genesis 2:1-3 https://my.bible.com/bible/1/GEN.2.1-3
What am I thankful for today? I am thankful for the number 7.
God finished His creation and rested on the seventh day. God blessed that day
and that made it very special.
The number 7 also has a special meaning to me. When I was looking for a job
a long time ago, I prayed that God would help me find the job He wanted for me.
I prayed that God would only open one door for me because I told God that
if there was two doors open, I would go through the wrong door!
God answered this prayer and did it hurt in the short term. There was a few jobs
that I did not get that I thought was perfect for me. For me! Can you hear the pride in
that statement? God knew better! He sent me to McDowell, KY. How do I know?
1. I asked for Him to only open one door and McDowell, KY was that door.
2. He provided the number 7 as assurance for me AFTER I came, not before.
I won't tell you my whole story now. Here are just a few of the 7's that God revealed to me.
The town I first lived in when I moved to Kentucky? Garrett - 7 letters.
The road through Garrett? Route 7
The road by the trailer I was renting? Route 777
Here is a good one.
A flower with 7 blooms came up in the back yard after I had been there about 2 weeks and the
flower lived 7 days.
Another?
The trailer I was renting was exactly 7 miles from where I worked. McDowell Elementary.
Now what did I need?
A wife!
Think God would give me a wife? He sure did and she has been a blessing!
I will tell you more about meeting my wife possibly later but here are some more 7's.
My wife's first name? 7 letters. Shearry
Ward plus Ord? 7 letters
Shearry's birthday is 7/27 - 2 sevens in that one.
Shearry's full name is 14 letters long. 2 more sevens.
Ready for more? You knew I was going to tell you!
Engagement ring? 3/4 carat (3+4=7)
Here is one more.
Our ages when we got married were 29 and 25. 9-2=7. 5+2=7.
The sevens in the story were not realized until after the fact.
Here is one I forgot. Got to love middle school kids! Why?
I will give you one guess as to what grade was my very first class at McDowell?
Third! No, it was seventh!
It sure is good to remember God's blessings. If you don't know Him, I would be honored to
introduce you. You will not regret it!
Thank you for reading. God bless you!
