Count the stars

A stone tower with a domed roof for watching the night sky.

Read

And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”

Genesis 15:5 (BSB)

Think

Abram was old and had no children. God took him outside and said: count the stars. Your family will be like that. Abram believed God. Many, many years later, Jesus was born into Abram’s family.

Talk about it

How many stars do you think you could count?

Pray

God, help me believe what You say, the way Abram did.
