And so a whole nation came from this one man, Abraham, who was too old to have any children—a nation with so many people that like stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them. Hebrews 11: 12 NLT Therefore sprang there even of one and him as good as dead so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. Hebrews 11: 12 KJV So many people on the earth do not know God’s plan for them. They haven’t a clue that their Maker is interested in them as a person with a destiny. How terrible to go to their grave, not knowing they had great potential. As one minister so aptly put it, the graveyard is filled with unfulfilled inventions, books, great artists, etc. Imagine this: a man that is as good as dead, having so much restored to him at the age of 100! He was able to father a child with a 90-year-old woman who never had a child because she was barren. What a resurrection! I have always marveled at the trees in the dead of winter, barren and seemingly lacking in life. Yet n the springtime there is a tremendous change as the sap comes up and the trees again are vital and green! And so, as the scripture said:” There sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,” so many offspring that they couldn’t be counted! What a Mighty God we serve! He is the miracle worker , the great Creator, who became our Savior! What man is this? That even the wind and storms obey him? The one who produces green grass in the summer and sends pure white snow in the winter. He cares for us like a faithful Shepherd takes care of his flocks. He renews our strength like the eagles! And even when we face trials and tribulations, he is wafting in the wings, cheering us on! He knows that builds character in us, and also dependence on him! We learn we can do absolutely nothing without him! If you haven’t received Christ, the question is why not? You are going to suffer in this life anyway and you need his help! Imagine having him by your side through every difficulty, come what may!” And so a whole nation came from this one man, Abraham, who was too old to have any children—a nation with so many people that like stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.
