Numerical Expositions: Genesis 1:29

And God said, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

-- Gen. 1:29 (KJV)

In this verse, God stated that He has given mankind herbs and fruits to consume.  If there is no God, then there would not be any herbs or fruit upon the earth.

Anything that has seeds can be used by people for consumption.  However, overusage of these items can lead to destruction.  Fruit carries the sugar known as fructose.  Too much sugar leads to too much fat.  Another example is marijuana.  Marijuana usage has been banned in most countries because smoking too much pot damages brain cells and does three times as much damage to the lungs in comparison to smoking cigarettes.

However, eating fruit in moderation can cause a person to lose weight.  Also, medicinal marijuana in small doses can be used to alleviate chemical imbalances in people.  Do things in moderation.  I do not smoke marijuana, but I do realize that from this verse that God has made every type of herb and fruit with some sort of benefit when it is consumed.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 1,2,3,9.  (1) To walk in the anointing, listen to the voice of God.  (2) To be delivered, receive the good things from the earth that God has given to you.  (3) To follow the Holy Spirit, realize that He encompasses the earth.  (9) Overturn evil in order to grow strong like a tree.
