Blessed to Multiply
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.” (Genesis 9:1)
After the flood, God reestablished His covenant with humanity through Noah and his family. God’s blessing to Noah and his sons to be fruitful and multiply is reminiscent of His original command to Adam and Eve. This blessing signifies a new beginning and a reaffirmation of God's intention for humanity to thrive and spread across the earth.
This verse encourages us to see every new beginning as an opportunity to fulfill God's purposes. It reminds us that God’s blessings often come with a call to action—to be fruitful, to grow, and to positively impact the world around us.
