divine rest and order has come.

 

Sometimes God answers us in ways we are not expecting. I’ve recently been

asking God for “answers”.  It came across my mind again today as I was

driving back from an evening walk.  My eyes were directed to the city bus,

just in front of me in the right lane.

 

What caught my eye was the number.  It was bus 17.  I asked him, is that

supposed to mean something for me?  In the natural, I could blow it off,

but, I had asked a question, and had received an answer, even if I did not

initially understand the message.  Then I did some biblical checking on the

bus number.  The number 17 is associated with victory, the restoration

of all things, spiritual perfection, and perfect order. The first time the

number occurs in the bible is significant.

 

 

Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the

seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of

the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

 

 

Genesis 8:4

Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month,

on the mountains of Ararat.

 

 

So I pass on this word of encouragement. Wherever you are this very day,

Father-God is bringing personal restoration. You may now be upon the

sea of people, but He is in control.  Be alert: The time for divine rest

and order has come.
