So you may be wondering what “GO 4 24” means. I’m guessing that the it means to root for Jeff Gordon, but I believe that God is using it in a different way. Last night Jes and I were on the way home after visiting with some friends. We were about 20 min from home and this guy comes up behind me and has these blinding headlights, so I slowed down to let him pass. I sometimes just look at license plates (aka “tags” here in the south) to see what they say. Well it said “GO 4 24”. I didn’t really think anything of it, Nascar is huge down here (surprise..right?) So we keep going and we get down into Mt. Airy and I look in my rear view mirror again and another set of really bright headlights are behind me again (this is like 5 minutes later) I’m thinking..SERIOUSLY? Then the vehicle gets in the left turning lane, and I look and it’s the same guy! I kinda brushed it off, still didn’t think much about it. I go home, drop off Jes and the kids and went to go pick up my cousin so I could take him to work this morning. I get out on the main road and 2 miles into it realize I’M FOLLOWING THE SAME TRUCK!! There it is again GO 4 24!! I’m like “ok Lord, WHAT?” So I figure He wants me to look up a scripture. Well there’s no book that is abbreviated GO, so I guess it means go to 4:24, figure it out. So Jes and I looked through all the books of the bible, and here’s what we found. Some are funny, some are amazingly applicable to my life, and some I left out cause they didn’t mean anything unless in other context and were stories. So here you go:
Exodus 4:24 “And it came to pass on the way, at the encampment that the Lord met him and sought to kill him.” (Hoping this one doesn’t apply..)
Leviticus 4:24 “And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering” (again..hoping this doesn’t apply)
Deuteronomy 4:24 “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
Joshua 4:24 “that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever”
1 Kings 4:24 “For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had PEACE on every side all around him” (emphasis added to peace)
Proverbs 4:24 “Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you” (Ouch..ouch..ouch..ouch)
Jeremiah 4:24 “I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth” (Amazing)
Matthew 4:24 “Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics and paralytics; and He healed them”
Mark 4:24 “The He said to them “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to who hear, more will be given”
Luke 4:24 “Then He said “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country””
John 4:24 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (Amen)
Acts 4:24 “So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said:”Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them””
Ephesians 4:20-24 (sorry, have to put it all) “But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, (vs24:) and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness” (Amen and Amen)
Thanks for taking this journey with me. I really hope that you prospered from it as much as I have (and will) Leave comments as to how God has shown you things like this in your life.
Who knows..this could be something completely different..if it is, let’s all pray that God shows me 🙂
