I heard this faith building story while away at a men's retreat.

In 1919 Albert Einstein was refining the then existing view of gravitational theory...
... a theory that went all the way back to Isaac Newton.
In May of that year a team of scientists were able to test Einstein's view during a solar eclipse.
As the eclipse took place, physicist Max Plank stayed up to see whether the observations proved the new view... while Einstein went to sleep.
I don't know if Einstein slept his usual 10 hours, but when he woke in the morning he learned his theory was proven correct.
Years later, Einstein said this of Plank...
"If he really understood the way the general theory of relativity explains the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass, he would have gone to bed the way I did."
In other words...
Einstein -- as they say -- had done the math.
And he was so confident in the outcome he could sleep easily.

Well, as you go about your calling today... perhaps anxious about what lies ahead for you... you can rest assured...
God has done the math.
He will work out His purpose for you as you faithfully follow Him.
