Think about that. God thought of it all! Why? Because that is His nature. It's Who He is. He doesn't leave anything to chance.

Genesis 1:29-31
“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.

Read Proverbs 25:2. God very seldom drops the provisions in your lap. You want more, you gotta get up and go after it!
And think about the variety He has given us! I mean, really, why do we need more than one type of squash? Or more than one type of apple? Or more than one type of…
