Deuteronomy 7:13-15New International Version (NIV)
13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.
This is the picture of blessing. If you love and serve God, this is what will happen....He will increase your children, your work, your food quality, and free from disease.
It leads me to wonder about what is happening with us today, although still blessed by God....none of us seem to be living in this blessed state. This would be the ideal picture of a peaceful, non stressed out life, maybe we need to go back to the ordinances God set in place for us...
