A PUNY MIND OR A BELIEVING MIND?
We all know that Americans are eating more every year. But, it's not only Americans. Most of the world is eating more, too. An article in the coming Above Rubies states, "From 1961 to 2003, the available (for consumption) calories per capita has risen from 2254 to 2809, over 24 percent increase in about four decades." And yet, in that same time, the global population doubled! Isn't that amazing? More people on the planet, all eating more, and yet there is still plenty of room. Our earth has the capability of producing up to four times as is needed for the current seven billion people on the earth.
It is only a puny mind, that doesn't believe God, that thinks that there is a problem with over-population! Have you traveled by car across America? You drive for hundreds of miles without seeing habitation until you come to a city. You drive through the city and encounter miles of open space again. This is not only typical to America. I have traveled by bus and by train through Malaysia. Once again you drive for miles through fields and palm groves until you reach a city.
God, the creator of this world created it to be inhabited. And He created the world with the ability to feed all its inhabitants. As the population grows, so does the capacity to feed them. Our God is a big God.
Isaiah 45:18 says, "For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else."
Weren't the first words God said to man, "Fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28)? It's not filled yet!
