Counting Stars

Yesterday I was on my way to Bible study and thought I saw the moon outside. When I got outside,  I realized all I had seen was a florescent light bulb. Sometimes I wish I spent more time in nature. God speaks clearly in those quiet moments in His creation. We see this in Genesis 15

After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: 

“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward.” 

But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.” 

 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.”  He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be. 

Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

God  could use the stars to make a point because there were many stars in the sky. Where I live I can count the stars. I'm not against city life, there are many benefits to living in the city. With my limitations, it is the best option. I am, however, beginning to see that I need to allow myself to be in awe of God. I want Him to be able to get my attention, either with a million stars or with His still small voice
