And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. (Genesis 1:11 ESV)
Blessings
Food is good. Comfort food comforts. Healthy food helps health. Tasty food tastes delicious. And here, partway through the creation week, God makes plants.
For two reasons, it seems.
First, for food. These are foodish descriptions.
But also for beauty. Vegetation, plants, and trees are a blessing to look at, to observe, to experience.
God could have made blocks of protein and carbohydrates for food. But instead He made these things. God could have made blocks of matter without symmetry, color, or livelinesss. But instead He made these things.
Even in every day things, God is amazing.
