7. Genesis 15:1-21 Covenant with Abram

So God had a plan for Abram. He came to him in a vision telling him not to fear but that He would be a shield for him and his reward would be very great. That He would give him a true heir and that his descendants would be many. When Abram struggled to comprehend it, God gave him the illustration of the stars of heaven and said his descendants would be just as numerous. God knew, if Abram should need a reminder, each evening he would see those stars staring back at him and bolster his faith. All Abram had to do was believe God and He reckoned it to him as righteousness! Praise God that is our job today too...just to BELIEVE and let God bring to pass all that He has promised.
