THIS EPISODE:
Because we can trust God for what he's done, we can trust him for what he will do. God promised to fix what is broken. He also promised us his mercy. But the heaviness of circumstances in our life can often make God's promises feel impossible. The truth is, God's promises are solid, they are for now, and for later too.

PRIMARY TEXT:
Genesis 15:1-5 (CSB)
After these events (encourage you to go back and read chapters 12-15 to see the whole context this week), the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:
Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield;
your reward will be very great.
2 But Abram said, “Lord God, what can you give me, since I am childless and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 Abram continued, “Look, you have given me no offspring, so a slave born in my house will be my heir.”
4 Now the word of the Lord came to him: “This one will not be your heir; instead, one who comes from your own body will be your heir.” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look at the sky and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “Your offspring will be that numerous.”
