Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 1:29-30

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so." — Genesis 1:29-30 (ASV)

Now you see God's system of supply. He has not made all these creatures in order to starve them, but he has supplied them with great variety and abundance of food, so that their needs may be satisfied. Does God care for the cattle, and will he not feed his own children? Does he provide for ravens and sparrows, and will he allow you to lack anything, O ye of little faith? Observe that God did not create man until he had provided for him, nor will he ever put any work of his providence or of his grace out of its proper place, but what goes before shall be preparatory to what follows after.
