Genesis 1:22 The First Blessing, a Command

on

 Genesis 1:22 “And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.” 

    God’s first recorded blessing in Scripture is directed to the first living, moving creatures He made, and that blessing is a command. God gives his creatures something to do, a law to live by, and that law is a blessing. To be fruitful and multiply and fill the place God made for them is a commandment they obey naturally, spontaneously, joyously. God’s commandments are always blessings for those who obey them happily, from the heart. God wants to bless you today, too. Will you be fruitful? Will you multiply the talents God has given you? Will you fill the place that He has prepared for you? Will you obey Him joyfully, with all your heart?

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).
