You’re A Star And Not A Grain

It takes the special grace of God to become a star of the heavens. What is so unique about being a star instead of a grain of sand on the sea shore, you may well ask? Stars are special because of their ability to radiate light that cannot be hidden. While grains of sand are trampled on; sand provides soft cushion to walk upon. In the book of Genesis 22:17, God saw the obedience of Abraham when he instructed him to go and sacrifice Isaac and he obeyed. God was so touched by Abraham’s obedience that he vowed to bless him and multiply his descendants as the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea shore.
