Genesis 2:5. Things That Aren't Yet as though They Are

on

 

Genesis 2:5 “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.”

In the day when God “made the earth and the heavens” (2:4), He also made every plant and herb before they were even in the earth and before they ever sprouted! Does this mean that God made seeds from day one? Did He plant them all in a heavenly greenhouse and then transplant them on earth on day three? Either way, this verse shows that God, who sees the end from the beginning, knows what the end result of His work will be, and speaks of it as though it were already done (Romans 4:17). “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” (Isaiah 46:10). God is not dependent on time or circumstances. His Word self fulfills. You can bank on it. Will you bank on the Word of God today?

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).
