Genesis 15

I've recently studied the first half of this chapter in Small Group. Together we hit on a very important bit of symbolism that is easily missed. When God is trying to make Abram understand that there is no need to doubt His covenant, He takes Abram outside. Abram physically leaves a small man-made space to contemplate God's promises in the great wide open. The power of God is as limitless as the sky, and it is false to constrain it within human limits (in Abram's case, his and Sarah's age) .
