Psalm 37:16-19 NASB

Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of the wicked, for the arms of the wicked will be broken; But the LORD sustains the righteous.  The LORD knows the days of the blameless (complete); and their inheritance will be forever.  They will not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they will have abundance.

Have you ever found yourself in a no win situation?  It's frustrating and discouraging, to say the least.  Well, here we have a "can't lose" promise; and, if we'll take hold of it, the reality of this truth will bless us in any situation.  Here's the promise:
  • God + our limited resources = everything (better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of the wicked... the LORD sustains the righteous)
  • God + our limited days = forever (The LORD knows the days of the blameless; and their inheritance will be forever)
  • God + our limited help = favor (the blameless...will not be ashamed in the time of evil)
  • God + our limited means = abundance (in the days of famine...the blameless...will have abundance)
Isn't that great math?  Even I can get it. And the figures don't lie.
