And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and number the stars...
Genesis 15:5-6 ESV
Where was Abram?
Inside.
Where it's warm. Comfortable.
God took him outside...where it's chilly, and dark.
And said look up at the night sky...yes it's dark but look towards the light...look and wonder...
Sometimes God calls us (& sometimes we just find ourselves) out of the comfort and warm and in the cold and dark...but He says look up, look toward the light and wonder...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
