Gen. ch.1:

v.22  be fruitful and multiply. 

In Gen. 9:1  God tells Noah to be fruitful and multiply.
Gen. 15:5  Abraham be fruitful and multiply.
2Chron. 1:9  people were like the dust of the earth.

There are places today that say you can only have one child.  There is also places that say we are over populated.  With the responsibility of having children comes the need to supply for them.  All the resources in the earth are enough to supply, but man must work and get them.  There really isn't any need for poverty.  two things would help that situation.  first there are those who work---they will have things.  second there are those who are so poor they need to be motivated.  Bottom line you cannot throw up your hands and do nothing.  God promises to bless the hands of his people.  The bible is full of instruction to the poor. He has promised to make us rich if we are motivated to use that wealth for the right purpose.

Children are a gift from God.  certainly he will provide for them. Some believe they have to do it or it won't get done.  It is important to realise that we first must depend on God, then also we must work. That is the balance.  When we work we could fail in our labor. That is proof we need to pray daily.  Phil. 4:19  promise----my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. That promise includes all who are poor.  amen.
