Life on Day Three and a Trustworthy God

Gen 1:9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.
Gen 1:10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11 And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
Gen 1:12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

Day three of the six days of creation sees the creation of the first living things, the plants. After God moves the land upwards so that what we call continents become a reality, He then creates plant life with some specifics. It seems that general vegetation is first made, then "plants yielding seed," and then "fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed." It would appear that the general vegetation did not reproduce by seed, which is the case with the simpler forms of plant life today. The more complex forms follow the pattern that God lays out here. That is, seed-bearing plants, i.e grasses, flowers and so on, are more complex than non-seed bearers. And, plants that produce fruit "in which is their seed," are very complex forms of plant life. In other words, the general facts of science here agree with the Word of God in the descriptions or classification of plant life.

It is useful to point out here that this is one small example of a larger principle. When we deal in truth and actual facts, not the ever-changing world of theory and hypothesis, God's Word and science agree. God can be trusted, even with your very soul. Won't you seek Him out today?

Your joyfully loquacious believer,
