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.

I am sharing this poem with you from Holly Bennington. Holly writes:
Good advice. Just keep doing a little at a time. Don’t give up and you’ll find you have finished your job!
God's ways are opposite of man's ways. God loves giving babies. If we are on God's side, we will love having His babies. God's ways are powerful. They impact nations.
God’s way is often the opposite to the world’s way. We have to choose which way we are going to live. The world’s way lures mothers out of the home. God‘s word woos them into the home to mother and nurture their children in this safe and secure sanctuary. The world’s way encourages women to pursue their careers outside the home. God wants mothers to be the keepers of the home, teaching and training their children and preparing them to be godly men and women who will impact the nation. Mothers are the hidden strength of the nation. They determine the character of a nation.
Have you noticed that children have a tendency to tell lies? They want to save face. They don’t want to get caught or own up to their wrong doing and so they tell lies. As parents we must be on the watch. When wen notice it we deal with it strongly. We don’t allow our children to get into the habit.
You are going to love today’s podcast (posted below). Erin and I talk about three things a man needs to make him happy when he comes home—a warm welcome, a warm meal, and a warm bed (meaning more than an electric blanket!). These are very basic but wonderful things and will bless your husband.
Job exclaims that God does “great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number” (Job 9:10 and 5:9). How true this is. We see God’s wonders every day—in creation, in His workings in our lives, and in our children (the beautiful miracles He has given us.) Every new baby is a miracle from God, a unique new person who has never lived on the earth before and there will never be another one like him or her. How amazing.
THE GREATEST MAN in history--
Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Did you know that your home is meant to be a treasure house, filled with the good things of God? Proverbs 15:6 says: “In the house of the righteous is MUCH treasure.” The word “treasure” in this Scripture also means “riches, strength.”
I received these encouraging words from Patricia this morning. She used to be a neighbor to us but is now a missionary to the native people of Panama. May you be encouraged.
In understanding Scripture, the “law of the first mention” is critical. When God states something the first time, He lays down a foundation for that particular truth. He adds to it and develops it throughout the rest of His Word, but He does not change from the establishing of the “first mention.”
It is so true that you can save so much money when you buy in bulk, prepare foods from scratch, and from the garden. It takes time and effort to be a good homemaker but it saves a lot of money. You can quit your job and “do good to your husband all the days of your life” (Proverbs 31:12).
“I’m pregnant!” No, not me, although that would be amazing! But these are usually the words a mother will say when she sees the pink line! Actually, It’s not such a nice-sounding word, is it? For something so wonderful I am sure we could think of a better word.
How do you feel about your home? Do you feel like a prisoner? Are you longing for the day when you can get on to something different?
Your home is what you make it to be! Build good and lovely things into your home today.
