Ahh, Numbers!

It's amazing to me how numbers can affect a person's life.

Whether its getting on the bathroom scale in the morning ( no - I'm not going to tell you what it said - but I did lose this week), or hearing from the doctor that your total cholesterol is only 91 ( yes - 91 - not 191), numbers have a way of effecting our life at an emotional, physically even spiritual level.

If the blood test or the scale had said something, "bad" It most likely would have put my day into a tail spin - emotional I would have been a wreck. Spiritually, I would have felt weighed down and burden by what I had heard. Physically, my head would have hurt, my body would have ached and my heart would have felt like it was breaking.

It's sort of like seeing red lights in your rear view mirror on the highway - numbers have a way of suddenly, taking on a new meaning.

The amazing thing to remember is that no matter what numbers are bothering you: your weight, your blood pressure, your finances or even the number of things ion your To Do list; we have a God who can overcome.

Ours is a God of abundance. Ours is God who seeks to give and give.

We should never underestimate what God would do for us. We should never doubt that it is in Gods ability and heart to give to us enormous blessings.

We should always remember that God can take the chaos that numbers seem to create in the midst of our life and turn them into unlooked for and unplanned blessings.

May all your numbers bring you blessings!
