Genesis 1:And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
When you shine the skin of a red apple you can see the Lord in the reflection. He formed this marvelous little sphere to accomplish three things: feed our appetites, reproduce more apple trees and display glorious beauty. In so doing He captured the essence of His plan for us, as well. In the Lord's wonderful way, we are given the spiritual food we need to mature as hIs children. We are designed to reproduce...to pass on the truth of God's love and redemptive plan. We are also intended to show the beauty of our Lord. Through our lives, as we are rubbed through trials, we also reflect the Lord in our skins and it must be a beautiful thing for Him to see His great loving truths be reproduced in each new generation.
This fall, when you're chomping on a Shenandoah Valley apple, remember God's complete plan and remember that you bear the seed of eternal love that, alone, can save.
blessings,
Rob Smith
