I see, hear, and read about black holes and their consumption power often. They grow as they consume. Eventually, as they keep growing and consuming, wouldn’t they combine and continue the process until they become so large as to devour everything in existence?

There’s a misconception that black holes are some incredible gravity super-vacuum in space.
They sort of are, but probably not in the same way you’d think.
A black hole with a million solar masses has the exact same gravitational power as a normal star with a million solar masses. The black hole is simply denser which allows math to do some funny stuff when you get way too close to it.
But from a distance, you wouldn’t notice a thing gravity-wise.
