Genesis 1:29-30 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree… 1. It is as good as the body it nourishes. 2. It is better than we deserve. 3. It is more than we are able to procure of ourselves. 4. It is more profitable for health. 5. It is free from the temptation to excess. God gives us not all our provisions at once, but a daily supply of them. (1) To manifest His Fatherly care. (2) To make us dependent on Him. (3) To exercise our faith. (4) To teach economy. God makes provision for all the creatures He hath made. Man was not only a good creature but a blessed one. (J. S. Exell, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. |
