Psalm 105:12
βWhen they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
The promise begins in vulnerability, not power; the ancestors possessed little security when the covenant was given.
Read carefully
The verse explicitly remembers a small and vulnerable community.
Reflection
Do not equate God's faithfulness with immediate strength or visibility.
