In this series, we’re talking about God’s view on growth and multiplication. Although God has some limitations on growth, today I want to emphasize that growth, or lack of growth, can be directly tied to God’s favor.
In Deuteronomy 7, God told Israel that obedience to His commands would result in the benefits mentioned in verse 13, “He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will bless your offspring, and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and fresh oil—the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks.”
God wants us to grow, and it is God who will provide, or withhold, growth. But our obedience to God’s Word is crucial for receiving God’s blessing and our desired growth.
