29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so (Genesis 1:29-30).
The sovereign God of all creation is a God of order and provision. God provides. In the beginning, God provided plants for both Man and animals to eat. There was no death so neither Man nor animals ate meat. The harmony and order of nature was part of the original creation. While we know now that since the Fall of Man, that the original order and way of things is tainted, there is still a semblance of order and God still does provide. God’s sovereignty results in graciousness. It is God’s will that one-day His creation be restored to its’ original form and order, we wait in joyful hope for this time.
