God Creates and We Nurture! Creation is the biggest miracle ever. Ask any mother how she felt while carrying a child within her, and her first reaction to her new born child. It is a wonderful, unimaginable miracle. But how does God create? God creates by His Word. He spoke things into existence. 33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood forth. I heard this story on a TV show I was watching late at night. I don't remember the show, or who told this story, but it gave me a clear understanding about how God creates. Now on to the story... Let's say that I wanted a watermelon. I can take a packet of seeds, open the packet, and pour out the seeds. But does that give me a watermelon? No, they are only seeds. A scientist can examine the seeds. He can tell you the chemistry make-up of the seeds. But does that give me a watermelon? No, he can't make a watermelon. If I plant the seeds, they are still seeds, but buried in the ground. I can nuture the ground... water and weed the ground... to help the seeds grow into watermelon. But even then, I may not get a watermelon. What these seeds have that produces watermelon goes back to the beginning of time. What makes these seeds into watermelon is the voice of God that says, "You are a watermelon, grow and produce watermelon." 33:9 For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever. Now the growth of a plant from a seed is a miracle of God's doing, but you must prepare the ground, weed and water the area. Otherwise, the plant dies of thirst, or is choked and crowded out by the weeds. Miracles are God's doing, but we must nurture them to make it complete. 2:15 And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it. God created you! You are a miracle! But you need to be nurtured. You need to be weeded and watered. Are you growing closer to God? Are you being nurtured from God's Word? Are you weeding yourself, so that you flourish and grow?
1:5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes. 1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. As you live your life as a follower of Christ, make absolutely sure you are doing what you can to allow the miracle to flourish within you.
