Basic math I’ve been able to conquer, but beyond that, I’m clueless. The Bible makes math simple as we look today as some verses. God and His Word are not complicated. We tend to make things a lot harder than they need to be.
ADDITION: “And beside this giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity” (1 Peter 1:5-7).
SUBTRACTION: “….If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20b).
MULTIPLICATION: “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord” (2 Peter 1:2).
DIVISION: “And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all” (Mark 6:41). (This is also a great example of multiplication and fractions as well.)
My prayer for you today is blessings be added to you, pain be subtracted, joys be multiplied, and there will be no divisions among you.
