Genesis 1:11-12 Bring Forth!

Genesis 1:11-12 “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” 

    God built the earth and got it painted in the same day, and He chose my favorite color: green!  To have seen all those trees, plants and grass spring forth and grow all the way to the seed and fruit-bearing stage in one day would have been like watching the ultimate time-lapse video.

    In these last days, do you believe that the Creator's divine power can also make a spiritual harvest grow and ripen in your life in record time? (Matt 13:38-39, Rom 9:27). But notice that this time God didn't just say "let there be" as He did on days one and two (1:3,6). Instead He said, "Let the earth bring forth..." No sooner had God made the earth than He put it to work in the function that He created it for. He commanded the earth to bring forth, "and the earth brought forth..." and for the second time that day, "God saw that it was good" (vs 10 & 12). What about you? What is God telling you to bring forth in your life today? All His commands come with everything you need to comply. He already made you with the capacity, if you choose to cooperate with Him, everything you bring forth by His Word will be to you a covering. It will be good, and you will be, too.

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
