Genesis 15:5 NCV
Then God led Abram outside and said, “Look at the sky. There are so many stars you cannot count them. Your descendants also will be too many to count.” Abram believed the Lord. And the Lord accepted Abram’s faith, and that faith made him right with God.
Genesis 22:17 “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as many as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore… Through your descendants all the nations on the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed me.”
Revelation 7:9 NCV: John wrote: After the vision of these things I looked, and there was a great number of people, so many that no one could count them. They were from every nation, tribe, people and language of the earth. They were all standing before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
One day in heaven God met Abraham. “Look,” God said, “Look at all the people here worshipping Me. Can you count how many they are?” Abraham looked at the people from different directions all around him. Abraham looked around, “Was he awe?” God said, “Abraham, can you count them?” Abraham was stunned. God said, “Do you remember what I told you about 5,000 years ago when I asked you to count how many stars in the sky? Do you remember that time? Were you able to count the stars: I promised you, you would have that many people in the future. Look, how many people can you count now?”
Abraham’s simple faith in God’s promise has still influence people to believe in God. Do you realize you are one of the many who put your faith in God? Do you realize that God kept His promise to Abraham about 5,000 years ago? Doesn’t this really encourage you to keep on believing?

Keep on believing, God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing, never despair;
Tho’ you be heavy laden and burdened down with care,
Remember God still loves you and He answers prayer.
