He [God] took him [Abram] outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars — if indeed you can count them." Then He said to him, "So shall your offspring be." — Genesis 15:5
God always has a plan, and it’s always bigger than we are able to imagine. Who can understand the stars? The more we know, the more we realize how much we don’t know. No one can count the stars. No one knows how big the universe is.
In the middle of Abram’s doubt and discouragement, God came to him with the encouraging truth: Look up, see the incomprehensible, and know that I have a plan for you.
In our times of doubt and discouragement, I believe God takes us outside for a look into the heavens. There we see that He hasn’t forgotten us. His plan for us is far greater than anything we could construct on our own.
Be encouraged!
