_To most people, math is no fun. Most think of it as the subject in school that was just there to bring our GPA down. But did you know that math is important-especially in God's equation for our lives. He uses math principle in our lives to work out his supernatural equation.

When it comes to applying God's math, most of us don't mind adding. We love to add new things because it can make life exciting and new. But we tend to balk at applying subtraction to life.

What we need to understand is that subtraction is just as important in God's math as addition is. God does not always ask us, "What are you doing?" Many times he asks us, "What are you not doing that you were doing before?" He wants us to subtract those things from our lives that are hurtful or unproductive. God tells us that subtraction is vital for our growth.

What is God telling you to subtract from your life? Is it a harmful habit or a draining relationship? Whatever it is, God wants you to subtract it from your life so that you can grow. This week, evaluate your life and apply his mathematical equation. Don't just focus addition-remember that subtraction is just as important.
