11-12-13

Today is almost over.  As I have been writing down the date numerous times at work during the day I was reminded there will only be one day in history with the date -- 11-12-13 -- being in consecutive order for the month, day, and year.   Similarly, I have been camping in the book of Philippians for part of this year as I study through it with a friend.  These verses in Paul's letter to the church of Philippi come to mind that have 11, 12, and 13 in them.

Philippians 1:11, "filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ -- to the glory and praise of God."


Philippians 2:12, "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,"


Philippians 3:12, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
