Destiny and I came across three (3) pictures, in the past two months, of license plates containing the numbers 127!
But wait - there's more!

127 is my favorite number.
In Bible Numbers:
1 - New Beginnings
27 - Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ
127? - I have been gifted to edge my way into at least one comment per conversation, that points the hearer to Jesus!
I have slowed down a bit over the last year, because I now struggle with anxiety - from a side effect of a medication that I use for bipolar I.
A few examples:
* 2003 - 2005: Saw 127 numbers 300-500 times, without even having a reason to see it as important.
* 2005 - Found that 1 Corinthians 1:27-31 & 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 were very important to me. (Psalms 127:2b as well)
* Destiny's Senior Year: Destiny got tops and bottoms for her marching band uniform - in the back of each, sewn in, was the number "127". Her locker combination that year also had the numbers 127 within the turns.
* 2015 - 2017: Continued to see 127 manifest in my activities. I even now use " ------- -- - - -- ------- " in business emails and in computer programming code! 5 spaces: Grace. 7 dashes - 2 dashes - 1 dash; then 1 dash - 2 dashes - 7 dashes; then 5 spaces again: Grace multiplied!

* On the way to work one Monday - 07/10/2017 - (all 0's, 1's, 2's & 7's!), I took a picture of a BMW, with license plate "JLN-0127". Only later did I notice that "J" = Jacob, and "LN" = my middle name, a"L"a"N"!!! Sure brightened my month!
* In like late August of 2017, Destiny took a picture a few days ago while driving from one house to see to another, of a bus with license plate "127-1994". 127: obvious; 1994: Destiny's birth year!!!
* On 09/21/2017, I left lunch, and noticed a red Cadillac with the license plates "GHH-0127"! (G: "God"; HH: "Heaven or Hell"; "0127": obvious. So I followed the car into a gas station, positioned my camera to take a picture, and a woman asked me why I was taking a pic of their plate! I told them that 127 is my favorite number . . . and asked permission to take the picture of the license plates - they complied. As God would have it, the Cadillac is owned by Apostle Devia Curry - and now I am her Webmaster!!!
* In summary, I believe that God blesses us with this number, over and over and over again, to 1) humble us and 2) show us how God works even in the small details, to show His love & majesty towards those He loves!
* What's your preferred language between you and God?

1 Corinthians 1:27-31 (KJV)
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (KJV)
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
