Fruit from Plants—Goodness From God

The land produced vegetation--all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.  Genesis 1:12-13

Genesis 1:9 Then God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear." And that is what happened.

Genesis 1:11 Then God said, "Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And that is what happened.

Genesis 1:12-13 The land produced vegetation--all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.

So we have another evening and morning…and the Third Day. A day when God created plants…and declared…it was good. Do you think if He had tasted a good sweet seedless watermelon on a hot day that He would have declared it…terrific…or maybe…sensational? At least He would have given a nice sigh…ahhhh!

Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, You are sensational for having developed such a variety of fruits and vegetables around the world that are all essential to the health and well-being of mankind. Thank You.
