God’s Blessing Of Fertility….

Do you ever wonder why people marry and then find out they cannot have children? I’m certain there are many reasons that explain this. But here in Deuteronomy we read of God’s promise to the Israelites that if they obey God when they enter and live in the Promised Land, not one single person will be childless. The inability to have children was seen as a curse. Sarah, Rachel, Elizabeth, and many others are mentioned in the Bible as having a barren womb. But God changed all that. God’s blessing of fertility is one we never fully appreciate unless we’ve had adversity trying to conceive. We all should see our ability to have children as a blessing. The sun rises on the evil as well as the good. God allows people to procreate, good and bad. Life is precious, we should alwaYs see it that way. For those of us that honor God, and see procreation as a reward for being faithful, continue to pursue God and point others to Him. Love your children, for they grow up faster than you think. Today, thank God for all of His blessings, especially your ability for being a pathway that the truth can travel into the future when you’re no longer here.

12 “If you listen to these regulations and faithfully obey them, the Lord your God will keep His covenant of unfailing love with you, as He promised with an oath to your ancestors. 13 He will love you and bless you, and He will give you many children. He will give fertility to your land and your animals. When you arrive in the land He swore to give your ancestors, you will have large harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and great herds of cattle, sheep, and goats. 14 You will be blessed above all the nations of the earth. None of your men or women will be childless, and all your livestock will bear young. 15 And the Lord will protect you from all sickness. He will not let you suffer from the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all your enemies! Deuteronomy 7:12-15
