God Maths

Do you know God Maths? It's nothing like ours!
For instance, according to God Maths:

5 loaves + 2 fish = enough food to feed 5,000 (+ leftovers)
1 lost sheep = as valuable as 99

Gideon was the leader of God's army. But God told him, "Your army of 32,000 is way too large to defeat the Midianites.' Too large? Wait. What?

Twice, God had Gideon actually reduce his army - until it was small enough to win the battle. Small enough?

God would give Gideon's army the victory, but he wanted them to rely on him and not their own strength.

Gideon's army of 300 was outnumbered - 450 to one! But remember God Maths?

God + nothing = everything
Everything - God = nothing

"It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit," says the Lord." Zecheriah 4:6 (NLT)
