God’s Promises for You
You might not consider counting stars difficult if you live in the city. The bright lights of the streets and buildings often make it difficult to spot stars in the night sky. However, if you have ever been out at night in the countryside, or maybe in a desert region like where Abraham lived, you would know that the sky is actually full of shining stars! Then, counting the multitude of stars would truly be an impossible task.
So why did God ask Abraham to count the stars in Genesis 15:5?
God told Abraham to count the stars because He wanted him to be overwhelmed by His promises. The stars in the sky represented the promises that God made to Abraham, specifically the promise to make Abraham’s descendants into a great nation. Humans can hardly comprehend the magnificence of the night sky when it is bursting with stars, and similarly, we sometimes find it hard to comprehend God’s amazing promises!
The truth remains though that Scripture is full of God’s promises to you. He promises to always be with you, to heal you, to protect you, to teach you, to provide for you, and to always love you. Each of God’s promises is like a brilliant star shining in the night sky, and though you will never be able to count them all, God remembers each and every one!
Prayer for the day:
Thank God for making so many wonderful promises to you. Ask Him to overwhelm your heart with the magnificence of His promises in Scripture.

About this Plan
God has a vision for your life! By trusting God and placing your faith in Him, you can believe without any doubt that He will accomplish all that He has envisioned for you. When Abraham thought his situation was hopeless, God brought him outside the tent and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars.” There were thousands of stars shining brilliantly in the night sky, each one representing an amazing promise that He has made toward Abraham, as well as to you! And He remembers every single one!
