A very common yet unique numbers in the calendar today. We are going to experience four unusual dates 1.1.11, 1.11.11, 11.1.11, 11.11.11 for this year 2011.
While everyone is doing a lot of activities for today's date 11.11.11. I just want to remind myself from the word of God at Isaiah 49:1-6.
1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the LORD’s hand, and my reward is with my God.”
5 And now the LORD say he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him, and gather Israel to himself,
for I am[a] honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength—
6 he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
Isaiah 49:1-6
You are precious than the dates. You are called by God. Let's make everyday remarkable for the glory of God.
