Let’s talk numbers. Have you ever noticed that when you are going about your day that the same number appears to you on a clock?
I sure have! Five seventeen. This is my number. My birthday is May 17th, so at first, I thought it was just a coincidence that I would see my birthdate. But it continued to happen regularly, especially when I was searching for guidance from the #holyspirit, so I had to pause and reflect on it. Why would my birthday keep revealing itself to me? And why would I think it’s a coincidence?
The definition of coincidence means “a concurrence of events or circumstances that have no apparent causal connection.” My beliefs tell me everything happens for a reason, and according to his plan, therefore, nothing is a coincidence. So, after researching (hello Google), I discovered when we see the same numbers over and over again, its called “Angel Numbers.” It’s a reminder that something divine is happening in your life, whether you can see or feel it.
My birthday is really about one thing, “birth” and 2 Corinthians 5:17 in the Bible tells us, “The old life is gone; a new life has begun. Now each time I see my number, a sense of peace falls over me, and I am reassured that I can let go of my past, move forward #withoutfear and embrace God’s promise that I am #madenew each day.
I’d love to hear your story, comment below and tell me, “what number keeps appearing to you?”
I believe in guardian angels and my angel number is 11:27. Thanks for sharing this information as I didn’t know what is an angel number. I will add this to my list of mylessonsearned.
It’s fun that we each have our numbers, and they have personal meaning to us.
I always seem to wake up at 3:33 and I have read into the biblical meanings of this as well. I am not a religious person per se but it does happen to me all the time! I’m a 5/12 birthday!
Scott, that’s also my oldest son’s number. And, happy belated birthday to another May baby, May is the best month ever!!!
I’ve heard about this from a lot of friends, but I can’t say there’s a certain number that I feel has significance for me or that I see often. I wish I did though, it’s so fascinating.
It is fascinating, and my number appears to be everywhere. Today I was driving, and the car in front of me had a remembrance message on the back window, and it ended in 5-17.
I had no idea the numbers on my clock means something or is telling something. Wow. I will sure look out for mine and let you know. That’s something to forward to waking up in the morning. Very interesting.
Yes, keep me posted! I’d love to hear about what number speaks to you.
Oooo! I never thought to look at Bible entries to see what numbers I could interpret are! You should try Numerology on the 517 and see if anything interesting goes with it.
Kaye, thanks for the suggestion, I’ve never looked into numerology but I definitely will now.
I’ve heard of Angel Numbers before and it is such a beautiful thing! I love the idea that the universe and everything in it is working together on some higher level than “us”. I always see the “wish minute” which is 11:11 and even at the ripe ole age of 34 I still make a wish on it every time I stumble upon it! Great post, thanks for sharing!
Interesting concept, and well-explained. Thank you
I’m glad you found it interesting.
I have never noticed this but after reading about angel numbers I think it’s fun. I’ll have to remember what number I see from now on! 😀
Yes, for sure. It’s funny, once you notice your number(s) you begin to start seeing it everywhere! : )
I’ve never heard of this before, but I may have to start paying more attention to the clocks or numbers in general to see if I have a special number. I have two dates tattooed on my arm. Does that count? Interesting post, for sure. I’ll definitely come back if I find a significant number like that.
Erica, yes, it sounds crazy, but it seems the more you start to pay attention to the numbers the more they will appear to you! You mentioned two dates on your arm, what is the special meaning for you with those? Maybe, you will start seeing something that connected to those? I don’t know? Let me know!!!
I too have seen my birthday a lot of the time. Not every day but, as it does you, it always gives me pause and I think about it as a coincidence. I too spend time with the Holy Spirit and commune with God throughout my day and though I have not read anything in the Bible specifically called “Angel Numbers” I also get a peace that when God brings my attention to that particular day He is, in essence, telling me “Yes, Alex. The day I brought you forth was a special moment and one that should give cause to remembrance. I want you to always remember how special you are to Me.” So I thank you for pointing this out because I would have never sought my Father on the meaning of this.
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing your experience. He created numbers and gave them meaning. Some may say something significant or just a gentle nudge or reminder as you mentioned to stop and pause to connect with something bigger than us.
all combinations of 1 and 3. I was born on 03/31 my locker for years been #13 3 position the journal at school, husband met in November . both of my dogs are born on 11 and 13.I am ok with such numbers. it also brings luck
Lyosha, thanks for sharing, this is fascinating! Isn’t it fun seeing your numbers appear and bring you luck?
There was a time when I was reading a lot about numerology. These numbers that keep appearing, which also happens for me, do have their significance. I’ll try and observe more from now on.
Yes, I think numbers can bring about a tremendous sense of awareness, especially when we start seeing them repeatedly.
I see 11:11 a lot, not sure why. I didn’t know they were called Angel Numbers. That’s so interesting–I’ll have to read more about it.
Oooh, Tracy, I love seeing the 11:11, it’s an excellent reminder for me to take a moment and pause, then to set some intentions through wishes!.
