The image of the stars is one of the most beautiful in all of Scripture — God using the night sky as a visual promise. 'Tell the stars' means 'try to count them.' The promise is not just for one son but for an uncountable multitude. Every time Abram looked at the night sky from this moment on, he saw his future.
Memory phrase: Look at the stars — and trust God's promises.
Talk about it: God showed Abram the stars instead of just giving him a number. Why do you think God used the stars to make His promise?
Prayer: God, when Your promises seem too big to believe, help me look up and remember the stars. You keep every promise.
