Today's Favorite Verse: 1 Chronicles 27:23

"But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens."

David learned to not count Israel. In doing so it showed faith that as the Lord had promised they were so numerous to be uncountable.

"And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."

(Genesis 15:5)

"That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice."

(Genesis 22:17-18)

"Abraham received promises concerning his seed, and of the fruit of his loins—from whose loins ye are, namely, my servant Joseph—which were to continue so long as they were in the world; and as touching Abraham and his seed, out of the world they should continue; both in the world and out of the world should they continue as innumerable as the stars; or, if ye were to count the sand upon the seashore ye could not number them."

(Doctrine and Covenants 132:30)
