Glorify the lord with me; let us exalt his name together. Psalm
34:3
I was recently talking to a co-worker about personalized
license plates and trying to decipher the message. I drove in this morning behind a Jeep with
the plate “PS34 VS3”. I wondered
immediately what it could be. Initials? A score from a sporting event? A software version? (I do work in
technology).
Finally it hit me – PS = Psalm and VS = verse! What a fun way to send a message on a license
plate. Then I wondered about how many
people would get it. Are they like me
and after a while it will come to them?
If people aren’t familiar with the Bible would they have ever figured it
out? I am certainly curious about the
occupation of the person who had this on their car. Are they a minister? A worship leader? A choir director? Why is this verse so special to them?
Retrospectively, I like to think of this as a secret message
between Christians. In between meetings
I have found myself wondering, if I put a bible verse as my license plate what
would it be? What message would I want
to send to others? I always think about
sharing the love of Christ with the world – how much harder would that be in 8
characters or less?
Prayer: Blessed
creator, thank you for placing messages of glory in unexpected places. Help me today to glorify your name!
