God provides for me, even when I am not so sure that He will. And even when I may not see what He is doing.
“5And he brought him outside and said, ‘Look toward heaven, and number the starts, if you are able to number them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’” – Genesis 15:5 (ESV)
Here is God speaking with Abram, who is a bit concerned that an heir for all that he has will not come from his own lineage. Abram was without an heir and was getting up in age and could see not prospects of that being solved. And so was coming to grips with someone of his household inheriting all that he had accumulated.
God was not done yet. He was fully faithful to His servant Abram. He promised him more offspring than he could count, by making him the father of nations. God was giving something that could not be seen by the human eye. Abram could not see it, but believed.
“6And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” – Genesis 15:6 (ESV)
God’s blessings on my life are not something that I can always see. I am just here to continue with doing the work of and for God. He continues to work in my life and provide for me and my family. I am not able to see, nor count the blessings He is heaping on me with my human eyes. I have to have an eye for and on Him to even begin to see the blessings. Counting them on the other hand is not possible. Just as Abram was unable to count the stars in the sky as to the heirs he would have, I am unable to count them as a representation of the blessings God gives to me.
When you look at your life, are you able to see all the blessings God provides for you? What are just some of them? Can you count them all?
