Genesis 1:22 The First Blessing, a Command

 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?
