If you're searching for the meaning behind seeing 24/10 or the time 00:24, the Bible doesn't assign spiritual meaning to dates or time patterns — but Psalm 24 and John 10 are both worth reading.

Psalm 24 opens with "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it" — a declaration of God's ownership of everything. John 10 contains Jesus' "I am the Good Shepherd" passage.
