Math was not my favorite subject in school. Starting back in first grade I remember struggling with things like counting money and while I worked hard in school, math was never something I completely understood the whole way through the last math class I took, college calculus.
But even those who do excel at math sometimes struggle with God's mathematics, because they are so different from what we are used to. Math equations should come up with a reasonable answer. But God's math is not reasonable, it is miraculous, which is much harder to capture in an equation. For God 2 fish + 5 loaves = enough food to feed over 5,000 men. To God a few dollars contributed by people in an offering plate, go on to support missionaries and build schools half way across the world when put together with other's offerings as well. To God one Sunday's worth of special offering can support a missionary organizations operation costs for an entire year. God takes what we have and multiples it while transforming it into something miraculous. When in your life have experienced God's math working in your life?
