Hebrew Keyword: וְהֶאֱמִן (Vehe'emin) — "He believed." The word faith in Hebrew is active; it means to support, to trust continually.
Abraham is asked to look up at the boundless sky and trust a future he cannot yet see. Allow yourself to picture your hopes and dreams as countless stars—God sees promise even when you feel small.
Your moments of faith, even when simple or uncertain, are deeply cherished. Trust, like Abraham, that stepping forward is in itself an act of spiritual beauty.
Reflection Prompt: Tonight, take a brief moment to look at the sky or imagine its vastness. What dream or hope do you want to believe in more deeply?
