2.22.22
I was signing a report when I realized the uniqueness of the date. I yelled out to my staff to which I received a variety of answers. “It’s Twosday!” “Yes, special day!” or “It means good fortune!” Intrigued, I researched this a bit more.
At the least, it is a numerical palindrome, a number that is read the same forward and backward. It is also a unique date in our lifetime since the next time this will appear will be in 200 years. Restaurants and wedding chapels had specials for those who availed of their services, particularly between the time of 2:00 to 2:22 PM! Now, the speculation begins.
Some cultures believe this is an auspicious number since good things come in pairs. Numerologists are excited since the number 2 represents cooperation and harmony. Furthermore, the number 22 is considered a master number, symbolic of many people coming together to work together. And let’s not leave out the mystics who believe the number 222 represents an angel number. Depending upon the individual, it could be interpreted that angels are attempting to give one insight about the future course of their life.
Aside from the fact that it is a numerical palindrome, there is no other significance to this date. However, people are always searching for revelation and direction and may attach meaning and significance to numbers. This search to find meaning may continue with their careers or possessions. Sadly, it may also careen out of control with drugs and crime.
Without revelation people run wild, but one who follows divine instruction will be happy.
Proverbs 29:18 (CSB)
Thousands of years ago, the Bible recognized this need in all of us. Only God can provide true revelation and in the absence of His guidance, people literally run wild. God created us and only He knows the way to satisfy our needs. Yet, we have chosen to reject His guidance and create our own meaning and interpretations to explain the world around us.
Twosday!
It is a unique date and it may get us a discount for a meal. However, it will not give us direction in our lives. Only Almighty God can do this.
Amen.
Love and trust in the Lord; seek His will in your life.
