Lockdown 319

Lockdown Day 319 - 8 February 2021
As Mondays go, this one went by very quickly because we were busy, but through it all I kept thinking, "It's day 319, it's day 319, it's day THREE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN!"

So after deciding to go to bed early and post today, the number kept coming back. So I did a little digging and found some interesting facts.
I was surprised to see that 319 days from today is Christmas day, 25 December 2021. 
319 Days equals roughly 10,5 months. 
In Roman Numerals it is CCCXIX.
In Maths, 29 x 11= 319.

The most interesting thing I found was a coffee roaster in Cleveland Ohio going by the name of 3-19 Coffee who believe that coffee builds community They support local artists in their community and also started the Rural Guatemala Assistance Project. This fundraising and delivery effort involves subsistence packages for members of Asproguate Cooperative, which represents more than 1,900 coffee-growing families in a number of Guatemalan coffee-growing regions. 

In the end, because the Word is my encyclopedia, I decided to look up Proverbs 31:9:
"The Lord by His wisdom has founded the earth;
By His understanding He has established the heavens."
And then I wondered what is written in the 319th verse of the New Testament:
"And blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who takes no offense at Me and finds no cause for stumbling in or through Me and is not hindered from seeing the Truth." (Matthew 11:6)

For a time such as this, what wonderful scripture to describe our Creator with and also our relationship with Him. Wisdom comes through the Holy Spirit who hovered over the waters in Genesis 1 when God created the heavens and the earth. Just imagine how it must've been to be there and experience God's infinite power and wisdom at work. 
And how much more amazing it is to walk this road in His Truth, to experience His power and wisdom as the Truth. 

Looking for a refresh button? Whatever days we still are to encounter and whatever viruses are yet to come, He has got this firmly under control.
