Count the Stars

      There are some things we cannot count.  God challenged Abraham in Genesis to “look toward heaven and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them.” I don’t believe Abraham could count the stars and neither can we, but God can.  In Psalm 147 David said, “He telleth the numbers of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.”  Scripture also tells us, “As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured,” and “so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable (too many to be counted).” 
    So many things we cannot count, yet God can.  

    Just as we cannot count the stars or grains of sand, we also cannot fully count our blessings. So many we are unaware happened.  Yet, at the end of the day, we should thank God for the ones we realize as well as for His intervention and the blessings we are unaware happened.
