Gen 1:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : The earth obeyed God’s command and produced grass, herbs, and trees, each one making more of its own kind. God saw that this was good. All the plants now filling the earth are a sign of God’s power and kindness. The earth is full of God’s riches, and everything should be used to honor Him (Hosea 2:9 ). Even though plants grow naturally now, it is still God who gives the increase. God sometimes works through natural processes, but He is never limited by them. Plants grew even before the sun and moon were created (Deuteronomy 33:14 ).

‏ Genesis 1:12

v. 12: The earth obeyed God’s command and produced grass, herbs, and trees, each one making more of its own kind. God saw that this was good. All the plants now filling the earth are a sign of God’s power and kindness. The earth is full of God’s riches, and everything should be used to honor Him (Hosea 2:9 ^a). Even though plants grow naturally now, it is still God who gives the increase. God sometimes works through natural processes, but He is never limited by them. Plants grew even before the sun and moon were created (Deuteronomy 33:14 ^b).
