THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL GET MORE!
This is an interesting principle, isn’t it? I read the other morning in Numbers 33:54: “And ye shall divide the land by inheritance among your families; and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance.”The Complete Jewish Bible translates it clearly: “You are to give more land to the longer families and less to the smaller ones.”
The humanistic mindset of our society thinks that if we have too many children we will stay poor. We will be deprived of many things. But this Scripture promises that those who have more children will get more land! Those who have less will receive less.
And it is true. God does not provide for children that we don’t yet have. He is a faithful God. He provides when a new baby comes along. Therefore, the more babies God gives you the more provision will come your way. It’s just the way it works.
Deuteronomy 28:4 – 13 tells us that the first blessing God gives is the fruit of the womb. But when He gives the fruit of the womb, He adds many more blessings to enable you to provide for the fruit of the womb.
You don’t get the provision first; you get the baby first.
And then comes the blessing of provision!
Deuteronomy 28:4 (BSB) tells us: “The fruit of your womb will blessed, AS WELL as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.” Look it up and keep reading up until verse 13 to read all the rest of the blessings.
I know some big families live in small homes, but it may not be forever. God will enlarge you as your family enlarges.
God’s ways are the best ways.
