10-10-10 Good day or Bad day ?

October 10th is the 283rd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar and there are 82 days remaining until the end of the year. And since the date 10-10-10 only comes around once a century, it have created a lot of 'hoo-ha' and many people are taking advantage of the auspicious date to celebrate........ Ten is perfect, so October 10, 2010 should be a pretty great day.

In Malaysia and the world over, there's a rush among people planning to get married or celebrate on the day as they believed something good will happen.

"10" is an important number in Biblical numerics, for example the 10 commandments of God, 10 plagues in Egypt in Exodus, 10 virgins and 10 lepers.

Chinese also believe 10 is an ideal number. It symbolises "completion", "perfection and flawless;" and will bring good luck and marital bliss to couples.
However, according to another source, 10-10-10 is a 癸 巳 (Gui Si) Day. To the Dong Gong system, it is a 危 (Danger – Cantonese: Ngai) Day.
Joey Yap’s ‘Dong Gong Date Selection’ book says this about 巳 (si) days in the month of 戌 (Dog):

So is it a good day or a bad day ?

To find true happiness, we have to find it in SomeOne who is not from "under the sun.". And that is our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Lasting satisfaction doesn't come from possessing tangible things like savings account and material goods.

The writer of Ecclesiastes concluded that "all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun" Ecclesiastes 2:11

Every day - regardless of the weather or our circumstances - is a gift from God to be used for His glory. Psalm 118: 24 said " This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." In Psalm chapter 74 verse 16 records that God is sovereigns..... "The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon."

Ron Ash, an author said, "We are where we need to be and learning what we need to learn. Stay the course because the things we experience today will lead us to where He needs us to be tomorrow."

So remember WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU, EVERYDAY IS A GOOD DAY
