Divine Math

Where do you stand on math? Did you like having to take math classes in school? Do you enjoy doing complicated algebraic equations in your head just to marvel your friends? The first step is admitting you have a problem!

The truth is, most of us aren't big fans of math. We didn't enjoy math class in school (and bonus points if you've ever heard or uttered the phrase "How is this EVER going to be useful in real life?"), and I've seen way too many of you using your fingers (and toes!) to figure out how to make change at the fast food restaurant.

I know God created the rules of nature and gave us math to explain it, but God has another level of math that really throws a wrench in conventional thinking. Divine math flies in the face of rational thought. You see, the common denominator among all divine math equations is God.

Anything rational can be flipped straight onto it's head when you add God to it. God says that a man and woman will be joined together to make a new creation (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:6).

God says that 7 trumpets sounding after rounding Jericho 7 times results in the city's walls collapsing (Joshua 5 and 6).

God says that 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish are sufficient to feed 5,000 people, with leftovers (Luke 9:10-17)!!!

God says that no amount of money or pride or selfishness beats love (1 Corinthians 13).

God says that the innocent blood of one man is capable of covering the sins of trillions upon trillions of souls (John 19).

Divine math is to be celebrated! It's God manipulating His creation in the way that only He can. It's the extra-ordinary showing up in ordinary places. How awesome that you and I get to be witness to that and, on top of that, get to share it with others?!!!??!
