Just look at us now, the human population as of now is 7.7 billion. God fulfilled his promise by making Abraham the father of many people, specifically 7.7 billion people. 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[d] be.” Genesis 15:5 -
Hong Kong- Personal reflection
In Chapter 21:22, it says "God is with you in everything you do." This verse relates to my life because sometimes I don't realize that God is with me 24/7. I don't want to just turn to God in difficult times. I want to be aware of his love or his surroundings whenever and wherever. Everything I do should show God being with me. This means that I have to act the same way towards God. I shouldn't just pop in from time to time. I should be there 24/7 just like him.
