The Story of Redemption

God speaks to us in so many creative ways. Recently, Jeff shared with me what God showed him and I will now relay that to you... It's the number 420. Sometimes numbers start appearing often enough to catch our attention. While it is commonly known that 420 is the number representing marijuana, God is working in that number as well. Now watch this.
Jeff woke up at 4:20am (without even realizing it until after the fact) and opened his bible saying, "God, you choose the books," and then began flipping through. He started with Proverbs 4:20 which says, "My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words." Next, he wanted to go to Isaiah but God said, "No, go to Jeremiah" Interestingly enough, Isaiah doesn't have a 4:20. So Jeremiah 4:20 says, "Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment." We're starting to see a story unfold. Now to the New Testiment. Matthew 4:20 "At once they left their nets and followed him." And ending in Romans 4:20 "Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God." How awesome is that?! it's a short story told through 4 books with the same verse in each.
