A seemingly impossible promise was extended to Abraham from above. God declared that Abraham, even in his old age, would yet have descendants through his promised heir that would exceed the number of stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the shore. And somehow Abraham, this friend of God, believed!
Our belief in God’s unique promises to us allows the heavens to converge with earth and bring our impossible dreams and yearnings to life. I hope we keep that child-like faith and Spirit-emboldened courage to count the stars and run our toes through grains of sand and cry, "The promise is mine!" and never let go. For truly, with God, all things are possible.
