Incredible Beauty of Math

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn’t it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

 

Now, take a look at this…

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+2 0+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Are You A Mystic?

“This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:2-3

Are you a Fortune Teller?

In the second half of verse of Jeremiah 33:11, it says

“Give thanks to the LORD Almighty,
       for the LORD is good;
       his love endures forever.”
      For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,’ says the LORD. 

No, I don’t think these verses talk about us becoming mystics and fortune tellers, but God does tell us mystical things that we can’t divine on our own, and he does know what our finances will be like in the future.

The first section tells us who to call when we don’t have the answers, which is much of the time. He says, go to the One who started all this, not someone that’s just a participant, like a ‘mystic’ or a ‘fortune teller’.

Now some might say that they visit fortune tellers, get their palm read or view their horoscope for entertainment purposes only.

That may be in fun, but consider what your creator “the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name” thinks about this.

Another way to look at this is to consider something that we as humans may create, such as a child. Yes, I know we don’t actually do the creating, but this is for illustration only.

So we create a child, train it up in the way it should go, and that child says it doesn’t like your training, it wants the training of someone else who’s more fun. How do you feel about that child.

This may spark conversation about how our children will do just that, as it says in Proverbs 22:15 “A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness,”

We have been compared to children and sheep, so we should consider what we do in that context, listen to our Father and our Shepherd.
