Genesis 15:2 NIV
But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord , what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
At one hand Abraham was childless, then God promised him the offspring as many as stars.
Genesis 15:5 NIV
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 be.”
If this happen today, I must said God you are crazy. I am 100 years old now and going to have the children as many as stars. You kidding me God.
The Sarai tempted Abraham by giving him Hagar. I would believe Abraham also did not have 100% faith at time.
Genesis 16:3 NIV
So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
Ten years of waiting. Tested Abraham faith with God promise.
Genesis 16:2 NIV
so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
