Faithful in Much
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Genesis 1:22-23
It's amazing isn't it how the Lord made everything up to and including a beautiful world, everything needed really without anything missing. There's fowls and fish of all kinds swimming through in abundance. Well, the fowls don't swim really except when they be flying so high up there in the sky perhaps during a thundershower or a quick downpour of water. Even then I thought they had sense to go perch somewhere until it was over. In longer rains they'll need to go a few places for food and some water very much surely. Though why they'll need to drink water from a lake or a pond is beyond me really when it's all around in the buckets and sheets that've fallen from the sky down on the ground. The command is given his creatures to go forth, multiply, divide and conquer in truth surely and so to prosper at the hand of the Lord. These then rely on water for their daily needs and also for the sustaining of life as at first. Indeed, the water here provides more than that as these are fulfilling the command of the Lord. It's much more like a fulfillment of service. You know, where the water provides everything needed to be happy and then some too for the future and maybe even a little bit more. If you look on down the line far enough, there's some large fish families and even some herds of wild birds as in droves. Then too, these have need of the water for the fulfillment of their daily bodily functions. In this case, it doesn't do more than allow them to fullfil the Lord's word as been told. Should the waters perhaps say worst case scenario happened and they get polluted, the fish in the waters would quickly sicken and die. The birds too would also be ill very much rather with feathers falling out of their wings and so down to earth. It's hardly these creatures fault is it, this water disaster but nonetheless some of these get blamed for the source. Most people have a tendency to look at something bad that has happened and lay the blame over the next closest possible thing. As though dead birds and some fishes weren't bad enough that they'd need to go get tested for diseases because of some people. Really, the very first thing to be checking in times like these is the purity of water straight from the source. Therefore, it's the water's job to keep on reflecting the surface sort of how a good mirror does all things that come there and hover above or below. By the water getting it's power straight from the source on it's own, even the stuff that comes from God's throne, there'll be nothing purer than that there for certain. The water's job though is to go on reflecting the light, his glory, and grace and hope that the trials of this life that've been suffered by those that comes to it's hands will someday be erased in the light of his glorious face. When it comes to the ones that've poisoned the waters, as in the case of the burning star falling down from above that bittered up much of the water thereby rendering it undrinkable to many and unliveable to most, at these times it's best simply to trust the doers thereof to the Lord of the water. The same God who created it cares for them and the birds and the fishes whatever these dwell surely as these so also do tell. In times such as these then, it's best to trust him simply and to have the final say with the Lord.
