Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Hurricane Harvey, which devastated Texas dumped about thirty three trillion gallons of water in just a matter of days, and in the last two decades we have broken records for tornadoes, hurricanes, and rain, in so much that, that some are proposing that we add a category 6 to the Sapphire Simson scale.
The Lord would have us to understand that after He created the earth, He put in place the principles of replenishing, by which man, beast, and the entire environment we live in could be rejuvenated on an ongoing basis. Therefore, any earthly system which does not include the principle of replenishing would certainly be doomed to fail. Re·plen·ish: To fill something up again. To put back, refill, fill up, recharge, reload, top up, restore a stock or to supply to a former level or condition.
Antonyms: Empty, deplete, drain, eliminate, bleed, exhaust, void. This overarching principle of replenishing applies to the entire spectrum of human activity, from our physical bodies to farming, from the use of water, to eating, from breathing, to sabbath keeping and it applies to financial resources where putting back or saving for the rainy day are offshoots of the same principle.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
