Exponential Increase

Deuteronomy 10:22 NIV:
Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.

God made simple arithmetic, where 1 + 1 will be equal to 2. But then, God wanted to prove that where he is concerned, there are times he will set aside natural laws of arithmetic and establish further mathematics or complex maths, where 1+1 could equal 1.  Or how do you explain the mystery of marraige where 2 very distinct people are seen as 1 person? Or how do you explain the logic behind 1 chasing a thousand, and 2 chasing ten thousand?

That same God is still in the business of showing himself strong in the lives of the people who are committed to serving him. His promises cannot fail, and he can move heaven and earth, just to bring his word to fulfilment. When the sun stopped going down for a whole day while Joshua was fighting, God was sending a strong message that there is no law I won't set aside where my children are concerned.

70 people came into Egypt. They went through tough times; things weren't so good, yet when they were leaving, there were 600,000 men, beside women and children, and so many possessions. That same God is still in charge of our lives, and he will perfect all that concerns us. His time of favour is here.
