Morning Scripture
“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.”
Genesis 1:28-29 NKJV

“Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.”
Genesis 1:28-29 NLT

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for seed-bearing plants that populate the earth. Thank you for your provision that is everlasting, because the seed bears fruit that has a seed and the cycle of life continues. Thank you, Lord, for your provision that intends for our continuation. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen.
As I am writing this, I am being reminded that within each of us is a seed - a gift from heaven to produce something that feeds another in God's creation. What is your seed? A smile? A kind word? Food for the hungry? Transportation for the elderly or anyone transportation challenged? A phone call? A card? What is the seed that you plant that keeps reproducing - as God designed? Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Morning Scripture
“Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis 1:30-31 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.1.30-31.nkjv “And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.” Genesis 1:30-31 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.1.30-31.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you, Lord, for a love so precise you have provided for every living creature - including the beasts of the field. For you say in. Your Word that you have given the green herbs for food. Thank you, Lord, for reminding us that you prepared not only for us, but for every living creature. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.” Genesis 2:1-3 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.2.1-3.nkjv “So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.” Genesis 2:1-3 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.2.1-3.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for your example of rest. Thank you for reminding us that not only shall we have purpose, we should also reflect, be blessed, and bless the work that we have done. Father, continue to give us guidance, to give us purpose, and to give us a mind to see the glory of your hand in our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray praise and choose rest. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.” Genesis 2:4-6 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.2.4-6.nkjv “This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land.” Genesis 2:4-6 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.2.4-6.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you, Lord, for a lush world that you provided for us. Thank you for reminding us that you prepared a place for us to thrive. Thank you, Lord, for these thy gifts. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. Interesting: At the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was home, many people noticed that nature began to bloom and the sky began to clear - all without man’s intervention - the way God originally designed. |

Morning Scripture
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.2.7.nkjv “Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.” Genesis 2:7 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.2.7.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for life - for forming man from the earth, for breathing life into his lungs, and for his presence as a living being. Thank you for reminding us that man was formed from your creations of earth, oceans, and heavens - an intentional manifest ion of your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise, and say thank you for life. Amen. Hmmmm…….I keep thinking that if Man was formed from the earth that God watered, and the grass, and fields that God planted, then we are intended to be lush, full of life and expectation, and growth. My words escape me, but if we were formed from fresh life that was expected to feed and fulfill - isn’t that what we are supposed to do, too?? |
