It Just Doesn’t Add Up!

 “Who among the gods is like you, O Lord?
    Who is like you—majestic in holiness,
        awesome in glory, working wonders?”

Exodus 15:11

It just doesn’t add up!

The most advanced civilization at the time has sent an army equipped with horses, chariots, spears and shields after a rag-tag group of recently freed slaves.

The one million plus men, woman and children are led by Moses, God’s chosen leader, to a ‘dead end’ called the Red Sea.

They are, figuratively at least, caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

(even though it was called the Red sea!)   

But something still just doesn’t add up.

What is it then, that doesn’t add up?

Well, if you were able to stand as an observer on the other side of the Red Sea you would see that the rag-tag bunch made it across and the sea swallowed up Egypt’s mighty army.

That defies all logic and reason.

It’s just not natural but it is supernatural.

You see, God was included in the equation.

When we do include God we discover that our logic and reason won’t add up to what we would consider a ‘natural’ answer.

Ask the Philistines who were siding with Goliath.

 Ask the Roman guards at the garden tomb.

Ask the Roman jailer who had locked up Paul and Silas.

Invite God into your impossibilities.

When you do, watch as others scratch their heads and say:

“It just doesn’t add up!”

When you hear those words, it is your signal to gently show them the ‘new math’ that includes God in the equation of their impossibilities!
