~ The number 7 appears many times in the Bible. It is often linked to perfection or completion.

~ The first bok of the Bible tells of a serpent tempting Eve. The last book of the Bible calls Satan "that serpen of old, who is the Devil." (Genesis3; Revelation 20:2).

Hi, Melanie! I love your Fun Friday Facts. I agree wih bp that it is super-cool that there is a "do not be afraid" for every day of the week and I think I'm going to start looking up one of them each day! God bless you for all of the sharing you do with us.
Absolutely love these facts each Friday. I look forward to them. One I didn't realize was that the serpent was mentioned in the first and last books. I never made the connection - doy! Great facts!
Turning 40 this year has felt like a new era being ushered in for me. I've went through some deep healing over the years, but especially this year. Now feel ready to shout out for Him even more.
Loved these facts.
happy friday! :) interesting as always!
Those were great facts. My favorite is that do not be afraid 365 times. that is such a good thing to remember.
Hmmm...you seem to have struck a chord, here. It is a challenge not to give in to the fears that seem to close in on us at times.
How neat it is that we can remember "Do not be afraid" every day, every year!
Thank you for praying for Bill. He came home from the hospital today. I posted an update.
Blessings to you and your family...
