That’s where faith comes in (Genesis 15)

The Lord of the past, the Lord of the present, and the Lord of the future.

“Count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have… And Abram believed the LORD, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.”

It is the LORD’s desire to bless his people, but he has a long-term view. That’ where faith comes in.
