And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. |

Genesis 15:5 | ||

With his naked eye, Abram would have been able to see at most twelve hundred stars. “I’m going to have a family of twelve hundred?” Abram must have thought. But wait. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Abram could see approximately twelve hundred stars. But how many stars are there? Far beyond anything Abram could even begin to ask for or imagine in his wildest dreams. How many stars are there? Scientists tell us that there are as many stars in the sky as there are grains of sand on the seashores of the world. This should not surprise the student of Scripture, for God made the same correlation when He told Abram that his family would number as the stars and as the sand on the shores (Genesis 22:17). According to the psalmist, the only other thing as innumerable as the grains of sand are the thoughts of God toward us (Psalm 139:17–18). This fascinates me because the Pentium computer chips made of silicon (sand) perform 1 trillion calculations per second. Clear back in antiquity, God measured His thoughts with the substance that would come to epitomize our own computer age. | ||
