What actions can we take to experience God's increase as in Psalm 107:38? Psalm 107:38—A Promise of Abundance “He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.” Recognize the Source of Every Increase • See God, not circumstance, as the true giver of growth (Deuteronomy 8:18; James 1:17). • Regularly confess His lordship over all resources—fields, flocks, finances, and families (Psalm 24:1). Respond with Whole-Hearted Obedience • Align choices with God’s commands; blessing follows obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1-6). • Abide in Christ’s words; fruitfulness is inseparable from obedience (John 15:10). Cultivate Continual Praise and Thanksgiving • Thanksgiving keeps the heart open to further favor (Psalm 67:5-7). • Verbalize God’s past faithfulness, building faith for future increase (Psalm 103:2). Seek Him First in Prayerful Dependence • Call upon Him before relying on human strategies (Jeremiah 33:3). • Ask, seek, and knock with persistence, expecting good gifts (Matthew 7:7-11). Practice Generous Stewardship • Honor the Lord with firstfruits; barns fill, vats overflow (Proverbs 3:9-10). • Sow generously; God multiplies seed for sowing and harvest for sharing (2 Corinthians 9:6-11). Walk in Covenant Community • Gather consistently, encouraging one another toward love and good works (Hebrews 10:24-25). • Share resources; unified believers often see tangible multiplication (Acts 2:44-47). Persevere Through Trials with Faith • Testing refines, preparing us for larger stewardship (James 1:2-4). • After suffering, God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes (1 Peter 5:10). Expect Kingdom-Focused Multiplication • Seek first His kingdom; material needs follow (Matthew 6:33). • Believe Him for “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” for His glory (Ephesians 3:20). Live these actions, and Psalm 107:38 becomes more than a promise on paper—it turns into a present-day reality of God’s gracious, expansive increase. |
