God’s Math

(Inspired by 1 Chronicles 27:24)

Don’t count what you have

Like it’s your lot,

Like what you see

Is all God’s got.

Shut your eyes and you’ll see better.

God promised blessing as the stars,

And here you are taking number.

Why add up what will be multiplied beyond your measure?

When God makes a covenant,

He’ll bring it to fruition.

You have better things to do

Than sit around counting children!

God blessed you before

You experienced creation,

And his glory,

More vast than the seamless sky,

More exquisite than the stars,

Will pour upon his beloved,

No matter how many or few there are!

Trust the Word;

Praise the Lord!
